Communication in Customer Service
As we have explained in previous blog and newsletter articles, language exists in different forms. These forms include body language, sign language and verbal language. Language helps us to communicate. Today’s blog is about communication, and to be more precise, communication in customer service. Communication between customers and service providers should not be underestimated. After all, your customers are the most valuable asset in your company. Without them, your business does not exist. Luckily, it’s quite easy to keep and make new costumers, with a little effort! Good communication and positive language is the key to outstanding customer service. Costumers like to be praised and to feel appreciated, and there are many ways that you can give these good feelings to your clients. Firstly, you should listen: pay attention to what they are saying and identify their needs. Always find a way to compliment them and thank them every time the opportunity presents itself. Make them feel important and don’t hesitate to use their name when addressing them as it gives them the impression that you are treating them as an individual and not as ‘one of the customers’. Secondly, always put your clients first. Know how to keep control of your emotions. Working in customer service is not always easy. Sometimes, the customer might be wrong, but no matter what, they must always be right! Learn to apologize. It’s not that hard, and clients love it, it gives them a sense of power. And, even if you might not always like it, take their complaints and bad comments as a constructive way to improve your services. Finally, always... read moreIs the Latin Language dead?
If you work with languages, you are likely aware that languages change constantly. Some languages and their speakers change so much that they disappear. Today, we can count an upwards of 600 languages that became extinct. But what can we call a ‘dead language’? Let’s take Latin for example. Latin has been classified as an extinct language for centuries. No one uses it as a first language anymore and this is why it is a ‘dead’ language. Furthermore, even though people are still studying it, it is an ancient language that was never updated, therefore impossible to utilize in modern society. Despite the fact that Latin is extinct, we still use it today in many different sectors, like science, literature and medicine. Many plants have their names derived from Latin. Also, several languages stem from Latin, like French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian and Spanish. The only circumstance where Latin is still used in conversations is in the Vatican and between members of the Roman Catholic Church if they have different mother tongues. Last year in February, Pope Benedict XVI made his resignation speech in Latin, which was a historic moment and proof that Latin is still used. So, can we really refer to it as a dead language? In terms of Latin being classified as a native language, yes, but it has helped us develop many other languages that are widely used today. In terms of the usage of the language, it is still alive. Due to our experience in the language business, we know that Latin as a language on its own is still used and read. Here at Lingostar,... read moreWebsite Translation VS Document translation
In the language and translation industry, you may have noticed that document translation and website translation are not classified as the same service. Indeed, website translation and document translation are not the same, and require different procedures and different skills. More often than not, website translation also comes with localization services. Read today’s article to know what differentiates website translation from document translation! While printed documents given to the translators are usually final, a website is often updated, which means the website translators have to deal with changes, modifications and newly added content constantly. Also, as opposed to printed text, website translation features the use of HTML and technical codes that the translator must be able to deal with, as well as being able to make the differentiation between text that has to be translated, and text that can’t be modified. A big difference between document and website translators is that website translators must have a good knowledge of computer science. And of course, website translation infers localization: adapting the layout of a text depending on the length of the words in a certain language, or simple but important details such as symbols, pictures or colours that might be offensive for people from different countries and cultures. Here at Lingostar, we provide document translation services and also website translation/localization. If you need translation services for your documents or for your website, we can help you!
