Translation error trips up Target on name of sandals

If Target wasn’t already having a piss-poor couple of weeks after catching heat over identifying the color of a plus-size maxi dress as “manatee gray,” it certainly is now.

According to Yahoo’s Shine blog, the retailer is again having trouble with its labeling, this time due to a translation error for a line of Mossimo sandals initially called “Orina.” While the store first believed the word meant “peace” or “peaceful” in Russian, Target soon learned it means “urine” in Spanish. The sandals, which have been available since February, are losing the moniker as the retailer removes that section of the name in-store and online, according to NBC Latino.
