CLASSIFIED ERRORS, from a small-town daily:
(Monday) FORE SALE - R. D. Jones has one sewing machine for sale. Phone 555-0707
after 7 p.m. and ask for Mrs. Kelly who lives with him cheap.
(Tuesday) NOTICE - We regret having erred in R. D. Jone's ad yesterday. It
should have read: One sewing machine for sale. Cheap: 555-0707 and ask for Mrs.
Kelly who lives with him after 7 p.m.
(Wednesday) NOTICE - R. D. Jones has informed us that he has received several
annoying telephone calls because of the error we made in his classified ad
yesterday. His ad stands corrected as follows: FOR SALE - R. D. Jones has one
sewing machine for sale. Cheap. Phone 555-0707 and ask Mrs. Kelly who loves with
him.
(Thursday) NOTICE - I, R. D. Jones, have NO sewing machine for sale. I SMASHED
IT. Don't call 555-0707, as the telephone has been disconnected. I have NOT been
carrying on with Mrs. Kelly. Until yesterday she was my housekeeper, but she
quit."
Public announcements
Public service announcements around the world.
USA: "It's ten o'clock. Do you know where your children are?"
Italy: "It's ten o'clock. Do you know where your husband is?"
France: "It's ten o'clock. Do you know where your wife is?"
Poland: "It's ten o'clock. Do you know what time it is?"
True marketing errors
Below are fine examples of what happens when marketing translations
fail to reach a foreign country in an understandable way.
Coors put its slogan, "Turn it loose," into Spanish, where it was read as
"Suffer from diarrhea."
Clairol introduced the "Mist Stick," a curling iron, into German only to find
out that "mist" is slang for manure. Not too many people had use for the "manure
stick".
Scandinavian vacuum manufacturer Electrolux used the following in an American
campaign: Nothing sucks like an Electrolux.
The American slogan for Salem cigarettes, "Salem-Feeling Free", was translated
into the Japanese market as "When smoking Salem, you will feel so refreshed that
your mind seems to be free and empty."
When Gerber started selling baby food in Africa, they used the same packaging as
in the US, with the beautiful baby on the label. Later they learned that in
Africa, companies routinely put pictures on the label of what's inside, since
most people can't read English.
An American T-shirt maker in Miami printed shirts for the Spanish market which
promoted the Pope's visit. Instead of "I saw the Pope" (el Papa), the shirts
read "I saw the potato" (la papa).
In Italy, a campaign for Schweppes Tonic Water translated the name into
"Schweppes Toilet Water."
Pepsi's "Come alive with the Pepsi Generation" translated into "Pepsi brings
your ancestors back from the grave," in Chinese.
When Parker Pen marketed a ballpoint pen in Mexico, its ads were supposed to say
"It won't leak in your pocket and embarrass you." However, the company
mistakenly thought the spanish word "embarazar" meant embarrass. Instead the ads
said that "It wont leak in your pocket and make you pregnant."
The name Coca-Cola in China was first rendered as Ke-kou-ke-la. Unfortunately,
the Coke company did not discover until after thousands of signs had been
printed that the phrase means "bite the wax tadpole" or "female horse stuffed
with wax" depending on the dialect. Coke then researched 40,000 Chinese
characters and found a close phonetic equivalent, "ko-kou-ko-le," which can be
loosely translated as "happiness in the mouth."
Also in Chinese, the Kentucky Fried Chicken slogan "finger-lickin' good" came
out as "eat your fingers off."
When General Motors introduced the Chevy Nova in South America, it was
apparently unaware that "no va" means "it won't go." After the company figured
out why it wasn't selling any cars, it renamed the car in its Spanish markets to
the Caribe.
Colgate introduced a toothpaste in France called Cue, the name of a notorious
porno magazine.
Bad corporate slogans
These are fabricated corporate slogans that would never have made if
far if they entered the real world.
Microsoft: "How much are you going to pay today?"
MTV: "Loud and easy to spell."
Saks 5th Avenue: "You Could Shop Here if You're Poor, But That Would be Stupid!"
Iguana: "The other green meat."
Nike: "Just buy the shoes, you flabby spineless lump!"
Daisy Air Rifles: "Keeping kids off your lawn for over forty years."
Canon Photocopiers: "Quit calling them Xeroxes!"
Apple MacIntosh: "Hey, we thought of it first!"
Radio Shack: "You've got questions, we've got geek losers!"
Professional Bowling on NBC: "Oh, why don't you just go ahead and kill yourself
instead?"
