Global Language Solutions Announces Contest for Translation Bloopers, Mishaps, and Woes
NEWPORT BEACH, CA - April 12, 2006 – The translation of documents, packaging, labels, etc. or the provision of an interpreter is more than a luxury – often it’s the law. In an effort to demonstrate that quality translations are not only imperative, but that inaccurate translations can be confusing, damaging, and, yes, humorous at times, Global Language Solutions is holding a translation blooper contest.
Have you had an experience with a translation or the interpretation of a phrase or word that has confused your client, patient, or subject? If so, we want to hear from you!
Send GLS your favorite blooper, mishap, or woe. We’ll select the best, publish them in a future issue of the Global Communicator (anonymously, of course), and shower the top three with praise... and a prize, too.
In need of some motivation? Here is one of our personal favorites: "You must be able to read English. If you are unable to read this, you will not be eligible for the study."
Now it’s your turn. Send us your entries by July 1, 2006.
