Homeowners in Florida are feeling the high costs of poor Chinese translation quality. It seems that homes build between 2000 and 2005 contain defective drywall made inChina. The drywall, although inexpensive, and used by numerous construction companies throughout the region, has proven to foster the growth of black mold that causes the complete destruction of the walls of the house. The root of the problem lies in the fact that a professional Chinese translation service was not used to avoid a poorly translated description of the drywall to American companies. The marketing materials provided by the Chinese failed to correctly translate information about appropriate climates for the drywall. This small omission has caused Florida homeowners millions in construction costs, health care bills and insurance costs.
