Wrong Translation of a Sales Contract: What Are the Consequences?
Imagine the excitement of expanding your business overseas and finding the perfect office space to set up your foreign base. Only to translate the sales contract incorrectly and end up agreeing to buying the whole building instead of the units you intended. A mistake like this could be enough to end your business’s foreign adventure.
Unintentionally and unknowingly agreeing to financial transactions due to poor translations is not that uncommon. One frequent example is the difference in the understanding of a comma across different nations.
