** The thin in-story explanation is that her boss, who was originally supposed to go, ''could'' speak French (or at least had a Master's in it, so even if she wasn't currently fluent she could get by). Her abrupt departure had them settle for Emily as a last-minute replacement, as she could (on paper) do everything on the advertising side.

** That's common. There's a Swedish bed company named "The Horse's" (in Swedish). There's a beer brand called Kirin, even though that mythological creature is unrelated to beer. Apples have nothing to do with music or with computers, but companies making those things are still named Apple. People like horses, so the name "The Horse" gives reasonably pleasant connotations.

** Most people in Europe learn to speak English. The reason Emily not being able to speak French is a big deal is because she came to a foreign country and didn’t bother to learn their language, expecting to be able to coast by on the assumption that everyone spoke English or she could use google translate to communicate. It was a matter of arrogance and a lack of respect that she showed to the people she is now working with and to the country as a whole.
