What Can Go Wrong ?
The British Government managed to mess up a white paper on Brexit in most of the 22 languages it was translated into. Native speakers from other EU countries labeled the translated document as ‘horrible’. ‘The tone is really off, wrong words used.
South Korea was set to sign a Free Trade Agreement with the EU, but translation errors delayed it by months. The Korea version contained over 100 major translation errors making it difficult to have the bill approved and added costly delays.
A 5-year-old British boy was stranded in Afghanistan due to a mistranslation of his mother’s date of birth. It took more than a year before it was accepted as a translation error and he was able to return to his British father in the UK.
