Ask HN: Terms of Service not in english, a problem?
I am thinking of translating the interface of my brazilian web app to english and "launch", meaning just advertise, in the USA. The terms of service, privacy police, etc, would all remain in portuguese.
Is there any legal issue I should be aware of?
- martey 14y agoI do not know about legal issues (you should probably ask your lawyer), but as an American who does not speak Portuguese, I would be extremely hesitant to sign up for your service if I could neither read the privacy policy nor the terms of service.
- orangethirty 14y agoYou need to contact a lawyer for this kind of stuff. In regards to users, they never read it. So it might as well be in binary.
- caw 14y agoYeah I would think just stick it in Google Translate and put a disclaimer on it at the bottom that these terms are provided as a convenience only and you're bound by the Portuguese terms. Not a lawyer though.
