Website Translation: Launch, Linguistics and LocalesMay 13, 2013 1 Comments
Providing professional website translation and copywriting is both an art and a science. The science part of it requires organization, research, cultural understanding and development of a glossary and style guide, among other tasks. Each of these topics could be a blog of its own, but I wanted to touch on their place and importance briefly in the website translation process.
This blog is a continuation of our series on the process of translating a website.

Insights into Spanish Translations for Latin AmericaMay 06, 2013 0 Comments
Latin American Spanish is a term used to describe the Spanish language spoken by the populations of Mexico, most of Central and South America, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico. Each region introduces its own dialect and pronunciation differences, but the written language is sufficiently similar to group into the same category.
At the time of localization, even though any Spanish-speaking person in Mexico will clearly understand a written text from someone in Argentina, it is very important that the subtle differences among the Spanish variations are taken into account so the target audience has the feeling of reading a text truly addressed to them.

Bill Gates Handshake: A kiss is just a kiss AND a handshake is just a handshake…April 24, 2013 0 Comments
“Gates, 57, might have not realized it Monday, but a one-hand shake in Korean culture - and also in Asia - is notably casual, done only when the other party is a good friend, of the same or younger age. Using one hand with the other tucked in the pants pocket is considered rude here, done when one is expressing superiority to the other.”
Being part of a profession that works every day in a multicultural environment with people from almost every country around the globe, we understand that certain protocol is appropriate based on your locale and audience.
