A somewhat funny story happened at a company I used to work. Due to legal concerns, a product had to be renamed and the sales and marketing team spent weeks looking for a new name. Those teams were basically entirely native English speakers in a non English speaking country. Despite having lived there for a few years, none of them had more than a basic proficiency in the local language. Anyway, they sent a company wide email, proudly announcing the new name, and asking if anyone saw any issue with it. It happened to be a pretty embarrassing word in the local language, which everyone had on their mind, but no one dared say anything, until the big mouth in the company just sent the item in question as a picture to every one in the company. A different name was promptly announced.
