Rosbjerg Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 the one where they translated women into .. b i t c h .. is especially bad! Fortune favors the bald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaguars4ever Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Microsoft has also managed to upset women and entire countries. A Spanish-language version of Windows XP, destined for Latin American markets, asked users to select their gender between "not specified," "male" or "bitch," because of an unfortunate error in translation. Priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julianw Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 I don't know if it's that extreme, but if he drops a hundred-dollar-bill, he's better off keep walking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reveilled Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 I don't know if it's that extreme, but if he drops a hundred-dollar-bill, he's better off keep walking. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, I never understood that idea. I mean, even if he makes more than a hundred dollars in the time it takes to pick up a hundred dollar bill, if he stopped to pick it up, wouldn't he have the money he makes, plus the hundred dollars?

Dark Moth Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Well, they are perilously close to having a monopoly on the computer market. Pracitcally everything is Microsoft. Nah, a few million can't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveThaiBinh Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 This kind of thing happens all the time. There was a Western company that advertised soap powder in Kuwait showing the dirty clothes to the left, then the clean clothes to the right, forgetting that Arabic speakers read from right to left, so the powder was making the clothes dirty. Most international maps do show Kashmir a different colour to either Pakistan or India. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."
