fantasmaOctober has arrived in spooktacular style. The US economy is humming along and helping drive the world economic engine. Children and adults alike are looking forward to Halloween with its fill of goblins, ghouls, tricks and treats. And as with Halloween, October is filled with many other wonderful observances such as:

National Kiss a Wrestler Day
I Love Yarn Day
Count Your Buttons Day
Worldwide Howl at the Moon Night.

Thankfully, all the aforementioned celebrations have global appeal and Halloween does as well. Begun as an ancient pagan festival, Halloween is becoming a global celebration, with each country adding its own variation. But as with global business, copying what works here usually does not work there.

Recognizing differences between business communications here and abroad can mean huge business growth or disastrous failure. The following remind us, in a humorous way, how easy it is to fail with our international customers:

Apparently, personal injury attorneys in certain nations aggressively CREATE new clients!

Amateur translations provide consistently amateur outcomes. These are fun and funny but if your legal document isn’t professionally translated, that sales agreement for “3,000,000 kilograms of zinc” could end up being “3,000,000 containers of sinks.” There won’t be too much laughter when that shipment arrives.

One of the simplest and least expensive decisions you can make is to hire an established, professional translation firm. You’ll rest assured that their professional linguists will accurately translate your essential communications in both word and meaning.

Auerbach International is your perfect choice. We utilize a full compliment of translators who all possess a Master’s degree (or the equivalent) and who have at least 10 years’ experience in the industry. We do what many similar firms don’t, we assign linguists to projects based on their native language AND their knowledge of the industry you are targeting.

Don’t be frightened by the ghosts of past translation errors. Call Auerbach International and we’ll analyze your needs and provide a complimentary quote for your project, no matter its complexity or size. No mummies, no werewolves, no zombies. Just 100% accuracy from over 30 years of service to clients large and small!

A final thought from Robert Frost: “By working faithfully eight hours a day you may eventually get to be boss and work twelve hours a day.”
