It is extremely important to understand the language and culture of your target locale before attempting to sell your product(s) and/or service(s) there. This section of of www.localisation.ie aimed to highlight some mistakes that companies have allegedly made in the past by failing to take the time to learn about their target market. 

Please note that since these 'faux pas' were adapted from various other sources, we cannot guarantee that they are all one hundred percent legitimate. In some cases, they may actually be exaggerated or even contrived.
