Perhaps I should translate them into a different language.

During the Denali/Escalade development we had to accommodate a new export regulation stating that, for vehicles destined for Canada, both the French and English language had to be displayed in equal prominence on warning labels.

The specific topic was the label on the trailer hitch. I offered, in my best Inspector Clouseau voice, that it should state: "EedioT!! Yah traileur - ees too heavEE"

My boss, an attractive younger lady, sighed and said wistfully "...the French language makes everything sound so romantic".
