120 Million Euros Lost to Language Mistakes

Picture
Tourism-Review.com reports that at least 65% of of French travel websites contain translation errors. Such errors are estimated to cost French companies more than 120 million Euros every year.

Providing travel websites in multiple languages is a successful strategy for getting new bookings, but sellers need to be wary of online translating services. Gaffes and errors can sometimes be funny, but if they lead to lost revenue or legal disputes, you won't be laughing.


Best practice calls for hiring professional, certified translators who ensure that your website is as accurate in the translated language as it is in the home language.
