What is one of the funniest mistranslations or funny out of context translations you stumbled upon? Working in the job search space, translating Apply without context can go for wrong. Apply to this job and Apply filters in many languages are different words. So starting an application to a job when you are trying to change a filter can be very confusing.

I remember seeing that when Mercedes-Benz entered the Chinese market, they initially used the brand name 'Bensi,' which translates to 'rush to die.' 😅

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer. But they're saying that they'd discuss the offer only after the other company that I'm interviewing with has come up with an offer first. There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?

Additional Posts in Localization

We are starting to look into A/B testing for international. Difficulty is, how are we going to maintain translations if we chose translations that deviate from the US source as all translations are based of a US sources string?

Does anyone have a favorite translation vendor and why?

What are some of the current challenges you have working in localization? For me it is scaling editorial content localization and finding solutions to insert elements programmatically and the grammatical challenges that results in.
