HTC ChaCha get's a name change in Spain because of translation issues


The HTC ChaCha, the upcoming Android phone with a dedicated Facebook button, is going to get a name change in Spain because of a realization: ChaCha is often used as a derogatory term in the Spanish language.

Instead, the HTC phone will be known as ChaChaCha in Spain. Just a few days ago, mobile answer engine ChaCha sued over trademark infringement.

Cha Cha, BTW, really means nanny or nursemaid in Spanish. However, it's reportedly used as a term in scorn in Spanish.
