7 Reasons Why You Should Have a Multilingual Website
Still wondering whether to go for a multilingual website? In previous blog posts, we talked about the advantages of having your website translated and the importance of website localization, as well as the multilingual trends in 2017. If these weren’t enough to convince you, here are seven reasons why we think you should definitely take the plunge and go global! 1. A big truth to start with… This is a cybernetic era! These days, you should be up-to-date with technology to be successful in practically any business area. You are only part of the world if your name is on the internet. However, that’s not enough. To be connected and boost your business, you need to have a multilingual website. Even though English is a global language, consumers prefer to read in their own language. You should be ready to embrace them all! 2. Spot your target Your website will open many doors for you but to be in the game you have to know how to play. You obviously know your product or service but it is most important to know to whom you are selling it! Every text and image on your website is an opportunity to touch the heart of a potential client. If you know what your clients want, you can use it to catch their attention and show them that you have what they need. How will they know this if they can’t even read your homepage? 3. Let’s go global – Open your business to the world So the first step in the game is to have your website translated into a wide... read more
Dubbing : What it means and its importance throughout countries
Dubbing – Giving the Audience the Ultimate Sound Experience Dubbing is a post-production process in which sounds such as dialogue or other sound effects from a motion picture are perfected or added. The aim: to offer the audience an exceptional audiovisual illusion. Perfect dubbing allows the listener to perceive the sounds as natural, rather than recorded over through a post-production dubbing process. So, how does one achieve perfect dubbing? Let’s find out! Original-Language Dubbing Although for most people ‘dubbing’ means the foreign-language adaptation of a movie, there are two other types of dubbing that are commonly used but often go unnoticed: dialogue replacement and Foley. Dialogue replacement is necessary for many movies because the on-set audio recording is often unsuitable for the final version. There are many reasons why this might be. First of all, the set is often placed in unnatural environments or even a studio where the recording of voices does not sound the same way as it would in the actual environment where the scene is supposed to take place. Plus, undesirable noises can result from filming equipment, weather, traffic and other uncontrollable factors. Also, the microphones might not be placed close enough to the actors, e.g. in a long shot. So, in order for the audience to hear the dialogue clearly and to eliminate distracting noises as well as improve the sound quality in general, the actors come back to a studio to record their own voices again, in synchronization with the scene. Sometimes, this even allows for changing of lines. In some cases, this has also been done to improve or replace singing voices... read more
Breakfast around the World – French, Italian, and Spanish Breakfasts
Breakfast is the most important meal around the world Around the world, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It should cover at least 20% of your daily food intake. As a matter of fact, this is essential in order to give you sufficient energy to start the day. But breakfast is not just about food and calories. In every part of the world, it is an occasion to spend time with your beloved ones and it is also a matter of culture and tradition. The bad habit of skipping breakfast Skipping breakfast is like trying to start your car without gas: it will never get going. The same happens for the human body when you skip meals and your system misses essential nutrients. In fact, skipping breakfast creates a sort of vicious circle. First of all, it causes an uncontrollable hunger mid-morning. This leads to an excessive intake of calories for what should be just a simple snack. Secondly, this huge snack can cause a lack of appetite at lunch time. Not being hungry will make you eat a small portion, low in calories and nutrients. Thirdly, all these unbalanced meals lead you to overeating for dinner and negatively impact your sleep. Consequently, this chain reaction generates a very unhealthy lifestyle. Different habits, different places, different food So, what should a person eat for breakfast? Meals, even breakfast, are strictly dependent on personal taste and culture, which explains why they are so different around the world. It is common to consider coffee, milk or tea and eggs, pastries and fruit as food suitable for breakfast. However,... read more
