The importance of translating correctly.
Imagine you are in a foreign country, your stomach is growling and you begin searching for a restaurant.
You consider if the establishment is clean, waiters seem nice and there are people already eating there. Maybe you even take a look at TripAdvisor.
But the thing you absolutely want is a menu in your own language, to understand what the restaurant offers.
Translating restaurant menus, website and advertisement will attract new clients to your business, but what happens when your translation is completely wrong?
Your potential clients take a lot of pictures and put them online...but never stop there to eat, because they don't trust you.
Would you eat in these restaurants?

Mate is a traditional South American infused drink. But it is also second-person singular present indicative of 'matar' (kill). Probably not the best way to get clients... |
This is clearly a mistranslation from the Spanish verb 'salteado' (sautéed). Or maybe creative writing?
