False advertizing regarding office locations[edit | edit source]
UniTranslate has an address in Küsnacht, near Zurich, as declared at the bottom of their website. This is the only concrete address that can be found on the entire website.[1]
The bottom of the website contains internal links referring to several major Swiss cities, like Basel, Bern, Zug. When visiting any of those pages, the respective city is mentioned several times (e.g. "Our services in Basel" or "Translation agency UniTranslate Basel stands for high-quality translations"), but no concrete address is mentioned anywhere on the website.
When inspecting the website's HTML source code, several <meta> tags are revealed, which are invisible to the user but can be displayed, for example, in search engine results. These tags all contain the same description: "UniTranslate is based in Switzerland and have several offices in Zurich, Basel, Geneve, Lausanne, Lucerne and Bern."
An internet search for "Unitranslate St. Gallen" or "Unitranslate Luzern" (e.g. with search engines Google or Ecosia) also produces relevant pages on the UniTranslate website, but they all use the same template as the other cities listed at the bottom of the website and mention no concrete address.
