But language differences are only one aspect you, as an international freelancer, must keep in mind as your work travels aboard. More important are the cultural barriers. Corn on the cob, for instance, is an hors d'oeuvre in England. Vicks VapoRub is used in many tropical areas primarily as a mosquito repellent. It is a very good idea, in fact, to avoid using any brand names or products in your articles and images if at all possible.
Colors too have different meanings in different countries.
In Brazil purple is a death color, while in Hong Kong white is for funerals. In Mexico death is associated with yellow flowers and in France the same flora suggests infidelity. White lilies, while looking beautiful, are never given in England, unless you desire to give a death wish. Red is popular in all Chinese-speaking areas and in Italy. Red roses in the latter country could mean a special emotion if given to one of the opposite sex.
