AI6YR BenI'm going to say there's a better way to get a translation for this new car brand, LOL. #DustProofBag
W6KME@ai6yr This is a two-way street...anyone remember Bite The Wax Tadpole?
@W6KME Haven't heard of that one, LOL.
@ai6yr Coca Cola's first foray into China after the Nixon visit. Eventually slightly different syllables were used that did not have surprising meanings.
@W6KME Ha! I imagine it's a pretty common international problem.
@ai6yr It's the type of subject that journalists like to write about when there isn't a shred of inspiration around. The most commonly cited example is the Chevy Nova, which sold very poorly in Mexico. GM eventually noticed that the name means "no go" in Spanish.
@ai6yr Remember the Mazda Laputa? Or the Honda Jazz, which was originally sold in Scandanavia as the Fitta?
