Famous Examples of Getting Lost in Translation - 3rd Rock - 03-22-2022
If you have plans to globalize your brand, don’t make the mistake of using software translation rather than human translators. Also, be sure to do your homework to find out whether your branding will be a cultural let-down in a foreign market.
Here is a collection of some memorable translation blunders:
Mercedes Benz’s market name in China was translated to “Bensi”, which meant “rush to die.” Which is not an ideal name for a car company. Fortunately, the company realized the mistake and changed its name to “Benchi”, which means “run quickly as if flying.”

The phrase “lost in translation” means that during the translating process of converting one language to another, some of the original meaning of the content is lost or becomes less significant. The phrase can also be used to describe the translation of media, such as a book into a movie. Finally, the phrase can mean that the meaning of an original direction or statement was not fully understood upon delivery which resulted in confusion.
