Amusing, especially the Facebook "diagram", however unfortunately for some of those companies it is true that they apparently did not invest well in translation services. This is why, when doing business in non-English speaking countries, its paramount to get to know the local market, language, culture, and expectations before going in with one's product, all gun-ho. Worse business examples are Ebay going blindly into China--what a fiasco--and Ma handing them their heads. Here, there may not have been slogan confusion, but worse, a total misunderstanding of Chinese paradigms.

Great post and food for thought!
