I've always wondered why American companies don't translate their mottos in Germany/Scandinavia. I know virtually everyone under 60 speaks some English but it seems like a little effort for something endearing.

For the same reason that a lot, if not most, Norwegian singers sing in English: It just sounds cooler. Norwegians often think Norwegian is boring and lame.

Subway absolutely do or at least did t some point use "iss frisch", which is not only the literal translation of "eat fresh" but also sounds like the colloquial German for "it's fresh." Some Subways still have the old slogan "Komm rein, iss frisch hier" written on the door which means either "come in, eat fresh here" or "come in, it's fresh in here" (either as in "the food is fresh" or "it's cool in here", I remember one TV ad that had this anthropomorphic sandwich sitting in the fridge). :eng101:

What is even better, most Scandinavians I have ever talked to or typed to as the case may be, had a better grasp of English than most of the fucktards who live in the US.

Some of the accents don't really lend themselves well to rhyming and flow, so singing in them can often sound a bit choppy. Others sound really great. Bands from the western part of Norway often sing in Norwegian.
