In Chinese, the KFC slogan "finger lickin' good" comes out as "eat your fingers off".

Delicious!!!

that is so funny
i cant belive thats true

Same is true for Turkish. KFC does not use Turkish version of the slogan though....

I have to admit I found this pretty funny when I first read about it. But as a businessman myself I soon thought about the serious implications of bad translations. They can have such detrimental effects on reputation and trust weather its business related or personal. I know I�ve definitely suffered the effects of bad translations in the past so I just leave it in the hands of a <a rel="follow" href="http://www.rosettatranslation.com/">translation agency</a> now. They use real language specialists to ensure all translations are made accurately for your target languages and prevent negative brand exposure like this.

they call spongebob spongebooble in japan

spongebob in japenese is spongebooble

That means china is full of cannibals

HE!HE!HE!

that puts a whole new meaning to finger food

it doesnt really mean eat your fingers!!!!!

Somehow I don�t think KFC wanted their target audience to eat their fingers off, but it does highlight a need for <a rel="follow" href="http://www.rosettatranslation.com">translation companies</a>. As globalisation progresses more and more companies require accurate interpretations of advertising material to be transferred from one language to anther to cater for potential consumers over sees. This is more complexed that simply making work for word translations which is why professionals language specialists are so important.

Hahaha, that's weird.

no it doesn't that is a lie i translated it myself

no, when the first kfc opened in beijing in the 80's... they ACCIDENTALLY translated 'finger licking good'... instead it came out as 'we'll eat your fingers off' .... FACTS NEED TO BE STRAIGHTENED lool.. hold on...............

When American fast food giant Kentucky Fried Chicken opened their first restaurant in Beijing in 1987, they accidentally translated KFC's famous slogan, �Finger-lickin' good� to �We'll Eat Your Fingers Off!� in Chinese

Only in China could the KFC slogan be offensive.

fingers r good

you mean "eat your doggies"
