I was abroad recently. At the radio I got an ad for a company from my country. At the end of the ad, they said their slogan… in their own language. How do you expect people to get your slogan if it’s in a language they don’t speak!?
I remember a good take on it! An ad in one of Nordic languages where a happy family sings to a metal or punk(?) radio tune which refrain went “I want to f*** you in your ***”.
It was an ad to promote learning foreign languages.
Slogans in foreign languages are sometimes considered prestigious or exotic. They’re saying it for the vibes, not for the literal meaning of the words.

Wow, really? I’d never heard a slogan in a foreign language before. It must vary by country
“Vorsprung durch Technik” - not sure of the spelling, but it’s a slogan from an ad for a German car in the UK. Mercedes maybe?
Volkswagen had “Fahrvergnügen” in the early 90s. I can remember that campaign took off for a while.
Fun fact: That word didn’t exist in the German language before, it was created specifically for this ad.

Your country doesn’t speak English, by chance?
