There are more examples.

Mitsubishi Pajero is called Mitsubishi Montero in some spanish-speaking countries since Pajero means "wanker".

In Switzerland, Nestlé rebranded their "Fuze Tea" to "Fuse Tea" since if you pronounce it in Swiss German it sounds like "cunt tea".

The website generator "Wix" just went ahead with their name (which means "to wank" in German) and actually made some pretty nice ambiguous/suggestive German "banned ads" about it.

The Japanese word for "like" is the same as the Russian word for "bitches"

Not exactly, the Japanese word for "to like" is "suki", and there is also "soka" that means "I see". The Russian word for bitches is "suka". But yeah, I was confused at first when I started to live in Japan; they sound very similar, and even though I don't speak Russian, "suka blyat" is basic game slang nowadays.

You are right then. One of my life-long dreams is to learn the Russian language, but I never got the opportunity :(
