How to Effectively Evaluate Business Translation Needs - Business translation is the art of expressing the sense of words and/or text in a different language or form for communication in the business world. It's a basic concept that isn't always easy to implement. One might think that the study of business translation needs is best left up to the translators. But, management can't risk entrusting these important matters to those who don't have the same interest in the company's financial goals. Three vital things are the driving force behind a company's business translation promotions. The Appropriate Dialect All widely spoken languages, including English, are spoken in a variety dialects, or slightly different ways. Translation Services and Translator Vocations - The translation service industry has reached a considerable height in the past few years. Opportunities are coming up everyday as this industry is really on the cutting edge and growing rapidly because the companies involved have energy and work ethic to back it up as well. Someone who is willing to make a career in the translation service sector can have ample opportunities coming his or her way. Qualification required for becoming a good translator * A good command over the native tongue, a suitable degree may prove the worth. * A good command over another or other foreign languages and definitely English. One should be qualified enough to prove his or her skill or aptitude. * A Graduate Degree. The Necessity of Website Localization - Of all Internet users approximately 65% speak a language other than English which goes to say that an English language site is probably losing thousands of visitors per day. Depending on the website's focus, this may or may not be important. However, If the site is commercial, it's probably quite important and necessary. This hypothesis actually applies to any website in only one language, targeted to a single culture. Translation Services: Traveling and Translating - To travel: to go from one place to another; to translate: to turn from one language into another. Traveling and language have, according to me, always walked arm in arm. There is no real traveling without communicating in another language. No real need to learn another language if not for traveling. Some of you could object: I am learning another language in order to understand a book, for example. From Shibboleth to the Chevy Nova: Importance of Professional Foreign Language Website Translation - History is replete with examples of "lost in translation" problems. While some, like the Chevy Nova's disastrous Mexico product launch (Nova or "no va" means "It Doesn't Go" in Spanish) might just cost a company a lot of money, other language faux pas have cost lives. One story from the bible has a man pretending he's not a foreigner in order to escape death. It was a simple test to find out if he was a foreigner or not: "Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him..." Don't let your website be the stranger in a strange land.
