Posted: it´s amusing how some words are translated strange into german.
in german we say welle for weave. welle actually means wave. i guess it was just misunderstood.
but we also have nice german into english translations.
don´t know if anyone has heard of this but a part of the feuerfest in austria is a collaborative performance from all the artists. the german word is gemeinsame performance which was literally translated as common performance. which gives it a whole other meaning.
anyone got any more?

Spanish again: A Parker Pen "won't leak in your pocket and embarrass you." Parker though that embarazar means "embarrass." It actually means "impregnate."
Germans pronounce v as f, which meant that Vicks was a homonym for a nasty German word for sex.
Mist is also a German vulgarism, and refers to human excrement. This became a problem for Irish Mist whiskey and Clairol's Mist Stick.
Coca-Cola ran afoul of the Chinese alphabet. The name on its bottles read ke-kou-ke-la, which meant "bite the wax tadpole." That got changed to ko-kou-ko-le, which means "happiness in the mouth."
You may "come alive with the Pepsi Generation," but in Taiwan the slogan became "Pepsi Brings Your Ancestors Back from the Dead."
Pepsi subsidiary Kentucky Fried Chicken may sell "finger-lickin' good" chicken, but the Chinese were told to "eat their fingers off."
