The increase in global trade means that international companies cannot afford to make costly advertising mistakes if they want to be competitive. Understanding the language and culture of target markets in foreign countries is one of the keys to successful international marketing. Too many companies, however, have jumped into foreign markets with embarrassing results. Translation mistakes are at the heart of many blunders in international advertising.

When GM changed the name to Caribe, sales picked up dramatically.

According to the latest OECD Migration Outlook, America received 1,107,000 permanent immigrants in 2008. About 73% of them came for family re-unification, which often means they are unskilled. About 15% came as refugees, and only 7% were labour migrants, meaning they came for work. There were also 340,700 temporary migrants who came on student visas.
