Problem

A lot of companies create a name for their product or service in one country, but they rarely assess the risk of miscommunication during the “export” of this name to the foreign market. When company attempts to communicate with people who do not speak English – and who have different ideas, attitudes, assumptions, perception and ways of doing things – chances for miscommunication increase enormously.
