Translation bloopers in “Parker” company

Posted by Admin 05 April, 2017

The manufacturer of stationery company Parker also tried to translate its slogan into Spanish. Her ad pens in English sounds: “It will not leak in your pocket and embarrass you” (approximate translation: “She will never leak in your pocket and will not cause any inconvenience”). The interpreter made a mistake and confused two Spanish words. As a result, the advertising campaign Parker in Mexico was held under the slogan “She will never leak in your pocket and will not make you pregnant.”
