Thats just dumb then, isn't it?

If they can't even label their spec sheet correctly, how can I trust them to do anything else right?

Imagine intel saying their CPU clocks to about 3.8 Gigabyte lmao ...

Welcome to ChiFi, they are actually a lot better at making this stuff than writing English marketing materials.

Would you trust companies like Apple, Mercedes-Benz, Coke or Pepsi? They have made similar mistakes translating for the Chinese market.

>1) Pepsi “Come Alive With the Pepsi Generation” Mistranslated into “Pepsi Brings Your Ancestors Back from the Dead”
>2) KFC “Finger Lickin” Good Mistranslated into “Eat Your Fingers Off”
>3) Mercedes Benz Used The Name Bensi Which Means “Rush to Die”
>4) Apple’s iPhone 7 Was Translated as a Sex Organ in Cantonese
>5) Coca-Cola’s Band Name Translates “Bite the Wax Tadpole” Initially

Using the wrong unit has nothing to do with translation tho?
