As a reminder, please ask us at Auerbach International to screen your company names, product names and slogans to ensure no damaging gaffes in key languages before you invest millions in marketing. IKEA, for example, introduced a workbench on wheels with a translation of its Swedish name, “Full speed.” In English, the product name “Fartfull” had a slightly different connotation.

We look forward to serving you.
