Here we are in the middle of November, the beginning of the holiday season. With numerous dates to celebrate throughout these 30 days, all are worthy of a joyous observance. Most of us regularly honor the following:
National Deviled Egg Day
World Jellyfish Day
National Chicken Lady Day
Love Your Freckles Day.
I would be remiss if I failed to mention the biggest holiday of the month. Yup, Black Friday is just one short week away! Throngs of ravenous shoppers, maniacally focused on getting the best and biggest discount of the year... on gifts that will be gathering dust by the middle of January.
Shoppers know that sale signage is often incomplete. But even confusing signs pale in comparison to inaccurately translated signs that embrace global travelers in a grip of total confusion.
At Auerbach International we believe you and your business deserve the very best in clarity and accuracy in your communications with non-English speakers. As always, the following examples of amateur mistranslations provide chuckles and relief... that you didn't cause them.

Who defines what a "noise" is? Who determines that a particular noise is confusing? And what am I chanting? I'm confused!
Ok, but does SOONING come in a can? In a bottle? Will I need a SOONING opener?
As we gather together over a Thanksgiving meal, we may share these malaprops with friends and family members. But your business communications are far too valuable to trust to amateurs. You and your team work relentlessly to grow your business. We believe you deserve nothing but the best from your trusted vendor partners.
Auerbach International guarantees A+ accuracy and personalized service from real people, not AI bots. You provide the highest level of quality to your customers. It's our belief that you should expect industry-leading service from your professional translation partner.

A final thought from Stephen Hawking: “I have noticed that even people who claim everything is predetermined and that we can do nothing to change it look before they cross the road.”
