If you're having trouble with the tags in clothes, imagine how much worse it is when there's a language barrier.

Excellent news! I will buy from that brand too

Well, speaking seriously about languages, I am one of the fortunate ones who has no problem with the labels on everything nowdays being in English and Spanish. I'm a Spanish interpreter. I like to play with labels and see if the translation is good. Learning Spanish has also allowed me to bungle through most French labels, although mostly I only see those on cat chows and other items I buy for T'Pau, Queen of the Universe. Thankfully, the clothes made in Bangladesh and India are not intended for purchase by the locals, or we would be seeing labels in writing that nobody would have a prayer of understanding. Nevertheless, during the Christmas sales two years ago, Rampage jeans were manufactured in Vietnam and I went from being a size 11 to a 2X. I was told that the X sizes were for Americans (1-, 2-, and 3X being the former S, M, and L, I suppose) and anything with numbers only was a raffle. Rampage is now out of Vietnam and I suddenly became an 11 again. But that does not mean it will fit either. Maybe we could start a new style of wearing choir robes.....
