The Importance of Translation in a Global Economy

 

 

The technology available these days makes it easy to get in touch with individuals located thousands of miles away on an instant basis and transport links to many areas are superb.

 

Having the freedom to operate in this way can be liberating and ultimately it could boost your success considerably. After all, it can expand your target audience and you might be able to make the most of advantageous trade agreements.

 

However, if you're to make a success of your ventures overseas, it's crucial you're able to communicate effectively with those you deal with. This is where professional translation services come in.

 

Whether you're after English to Chinese translation, English to Arabic translation, or anything else, bringing in the experts can pay off.

 

The importance of document translation services and so on was highlighted in a Guardian article (from 2012). It focussed on the activities of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) operating in Africa.

 

Expert Lori Thicke told the publication that when she visited Aids orphans in Thange, eastern Kenya, she realised that charities were displaying information in English, which was a language local people weren't familiar with.

 

She remarked: "The posters carried excellent advice, but they were in English, a language that people didn't understand." She wondered what the point of this NGO-supplied information was if it was inaccessible.

 

Ms Thicke went on to state: "People are delivering aid every day in Africa in English, French and Portuguese. That is fine for the educated elite, but they don't need aid. It is the parents among the poor who need the information on symptoms of malaria."

 

Whatever kind of organisation you run, it's crucial that you manage to get your message across to your target audience effectively.

 

Assuming they will understand English can be a costly mistake. For example, your marketing material may be inaccessible and therefore useless.
