Company Slogans Translation Gone Wrong
Cracking an international market is a goal of most growing corporations. It should not be that difficult, yet even the big multi-nationals run into trouble because of language and cultural differences. For example.The name Coco-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.”
In Taiwan, the translation of the Pepsi slogan, “Come Alive With the Pepsi Generation,” came out as, “Pepsi Will Bring Your Ancestors Back From The Dead.”
Also in Chinese, the Kentucky Fried Chicken slogan, “Finger-Lickin’ Good,” came out as “Eat Your Fingers Off.” (more…)

Oktoberfest 2008 Girls
So how did this global party get started? And why didn’t anyone think of it sooner?
Prince Ludwig of Bavaria, wanted his people to share in the celebration of his marriage to Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen on October 12, 1810.
Ludwig organized a horse race and invited all the people of Munich. The royal party drew about 40,000 guests—a major rager, by ordinary standards, but only a small fraction of the 6.4 million people at Oktoberfest in 1997. A good time, and copious amounts of beer, were apparently had by all that first year. It was decided that the horse race would be held again in 1811, this time in conjunction with the state agricultural show. (more…)
