FYI: Kot in German = excrements

Ha, reminds me of a juice booth/startup the other day at the tech fair named "Suja," which means dirty or obscene in Portuguese!

My favorite example is a popular German light bulb brand, Osram, which is also known in Poland. In Polish it means roughly "I'll put my excrement [on it]" :P

[taneq → seba_dos1]

While we're at it, Italian cooking appliance brand Smeg invokes something quite different in English.

"The curve" - "Kurve" in German was my favorite learning German. Osram was close though :D

FYI: in Polish, "kot" means "cat". Also, Kotlin is a popular ketchup brand here (unrelated to cats though) :P

Take it up with the Kotlin guys :)

[aluhut → kotcity]

It's well hidden in there. Kot City though made me smile like some schoolboy :D

I think Kot in Kotlin is rather pronounced like the German "Kott" would. However I of course had the same association in mind when I saw the title.

It's hard to come up with names that are fine in all/most languages :)

lol nice however "Du hast Recht" is the proper translation alternative if you want to translate "that's right" -> "So ist es."
