Multilingualism in Russia
Ethnic diversity and multilingualism in Russia Multilingualism in Russia has been a cornerstone of Russia’s cultural and political development throughout history. Much like the matryoshka doll, a worldwide symbol of Russian identity, the country comprises many interlocking languages and ethnic groups. This linguistic diversity offers a wealth of cultures and languages. However, it also presents challenges. Want to learn more? Keep reading! The historic roots of multilingualism in Russia From the Tsardom of Russia to the Russian Federation via Imperial Russia and the Soviet Union, multilingualism has always played a part in Russia’s history. Its vast territory brought together diverse peoples ranging from Eastern Europe to Northern Asia, resulting in a complex linguistic landscape that persists to this day. This legacy extended beyond Russia’s borders, especially into regions such as Moldova, shaped by centuries of Russian and Soviet influence. Following the annexation of Bessarabia (modern-day Moldova) by the Russian Empire and its subsequent integration into the Soviet Union, Russian became a dominant language in administration, education, and public life. Consequently, Moldova developed into a multilingual society. Nowadays, only Moldovan/Romanian is the official language; therefore, the majority of people speak it. However, Russian, Gagauz, Ukrainian and Bulgarian are also still spoken alongside Moldovan/Romanian. Russian remains influential, particularly in regions such as Gagauzia and Transnistria, reflecting the enduring impact of Russia’s multilingual and imperial past. Multilingualism in today’s Russia As the largest country in the world, Russia is home to multiple ethnic groups with their own languages and cultures. Around 190 ethnic groups speak between 100 and 150 different languages. Below is a non-exhaustive list of some of them: Armenian, Bashkir, Chuvash,... read more
What Is Localization: Bridging The Cultural Gap
What exactly is localization? “What exactly is localization and why is it so important today?” is a question worth asking in a globalized world where the internet and social media are bringing us all closer together. It is not only important that your product is available in several languages. It should also be correctly adapted to the target culture. The following article aims to provide information on the concept of localization and the benefits of localizing a product. The industry is relatively young. According to seasoned localization experts O’Hagan and Mangiron, the term was first used by software developers during the late 1980s. This was a time when companies found out that taking their product overseas was advantageous overall. The term “localization” refers to the process of adding and adapting cultural and linguistic elements that are foreign to the original product so that it is received positively in a foreign market. The term is commonly abbreviated to “l10n”. What is the difference between localization and translation? At first glance, you might think that localization is just another way of saying translation. However, this misconception is on the same level as thinking that translation is a simple language conversion, rather than a complex process that often involves technical terminology and attention to detail. In this sense, while translation involves the conversion of a text and its terms from one language to another, localization focuses more on the target culture of the product and its linguistic particularities. Ultimately, the main aim is to reach a wider market overall. For example, if you want your product to resonate with someone in the... read more
