What happens if I ignore cultural sensitivity when translating my website?

Ignoring cultural sensitivity can cost money and reputation. A mistranslated call to action can drop conversion rates by double digits. An offensive image can trigger social-media backlash. Legal exposure grows when disclaimers or terms of service violate local consumer-protection laws. Search engines also penalize pages that show high bounce rates from mismatched intent. Cultural blindness turns a growth channel into a liability.
