April Fool’s Day is a famous celebration that has been going on for centuries. Every year on April 1st, people from all over the world play jokes and pranks, called April fools. This means that companies around the world will need global business translation services to get their wares ready for the celebration!
To this day, the origins of April fools remain a mystery. According to historical lore, this celebration can be dated back to 1582, when people in France celebrated the new year from the end of march through April 1st because they failed to realize that the country changed to the Gregorian calendar. However, there are several speculations about the origin of this day that differ from country to country.
Because of its worldwide recognition, many industries go the extra mile and use translation and localization services to celebrate this day, including the food and broadcast media industry.
Global Business Translation Services for the broadcast media industry
The Broadcast media industry has worked with language service companies and web translation services to give its audience a great time and entertainment on April Fool’s. Fictional claims have been reported for decades through newspaper, TV stations, and radios. In the Nordic countries like Denmark, Sweden, and Finland, there is a tradition that these outlets produce a false story every year on this day. These stations have been able to reach a broader audience and extend globally by using corporate translation services!
Global Business Translation Services for the food industry
The most entertaining pranks so far have been done by food chains. Global franchise fast food chains, such as Burger King, pair up with marketing localization services to hoax their customers.
In 2017, Burger King created an ad on the “whopper toothpaste.” This meaty flavored toothpaste promises customers a burger breath all day long! However, the franchise advises its customers to not use it before 3 PM, or they might get hungry!
