 Last year a piece of news about the French President Macron made a lot of readers giggle. The President possibly switched between French and English a bit too fast. When talking about the Australian PM\u2019s wife, he misused the word \u00ab\u00a0delicious\u00a0\u00bb \u2014 d\u00e9licieuse<\/em> \u2014 because in French it also means \u201cdelightful\u201d.<\/p>\n

Question: what if a mistake like this appeared on your professional website?<\/p>\n

After all, \u201cdelicious\u201d is the first automatic translation of \u201cd\u00e9licieux\u201d that comes up on Google. And if you are a bit more curious and you click on the 8 more translations that Google offers, which one would you choose?<\/p>\n

Not only you will lose good ranking and search traffic. Chances are that visitors won\u2019t stay on your web page too long and errors will not add to their trust.<\/p>\n

Your website is your business\u00a0card, so careful phrasing does matter. Otherwise, it will be inauthentic and ineffective for people not speaking English.<\/p>\n

Do you want your customers to giggle at some stunning mistakes while you claim to deliver state-of-the-art solutions?<\/p>\n

Show them you care. Great products deserve great translations. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
