Language Planning and Policy
Language planning involves systematic efforts to modify language use in a community, while language policy refers to the body of ideas, laws and regulations around planned linguistic changes. There are two levels of language planning - macro (involving governments and complex changes) and micro (focusing on specific issues). Key actors in language planning include government agencies, education agencies, quasi-governmental organizations, and other influential groups. Activities generally involve status planning (modifying a language's use) and corpus planning (modifying the language itself), with the overall goal of language selection, codification, elaboration and implementation. Codification specifically refers to standardizing a language's orthography, grammar and lexicon.
Relationship between language, culture, and identity
This document discusses the relationship between language, culture, and identity. It argues that language and culture influence each other mutually - language is shaped by culture but also shapes culture. Membership in a cultural group influences one's identity. The levels of identification conveyed through language include nationality, social class, gender, generation, and profession. Language determines ways of thinking through influencing cognition as proposed in the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. Overall, the document presents language, culture and identity as intricately interconnected and constantly evolving.

Applying simclair coulthard model
This document discusses applying the Sinclair and Coulthard model of discourse analysis to analyze a student-centered English language classroom. It begins by introducing the Sinclair and Coulthard model and noting that it was originally designed to analyze more structured primary school classrooms. The document then examines the model in more detail, exploring the hierarchy of ranks and identifying exchanges, moves, and acts. Finally, it presents sample classroom data and plans to analyze it using the Sinclair and Coulthard model, with modifications if needed to suit the more communicative student-centered context.
L.t.s second language acquisition theory.
This document discusses several hypotheses about second language acquisition:
1. The acquisition-learning distinction hypothesizes that adults can acquire a second language naturally through exposure, like children.
2. The natural order hypothesis claims that certain grammatical structures are acquired earlier than others in a predictable pattern.
3. The monitor hypothesis describes editing abilities that allow conscious learning but not natural acquisition.
4. The input hypothesis states that comprehensible input is necessary for acquisition but not sufficient on its own.
5. The affective filter hypothesis proposes that low anxiety and defensiveness allow input to be acquired more easily.
Second Language Acquisition (Error Analysis)
This document discusses error analysis in second language acquisition. It defines error as evidence of a lack of learning, and distinguishes errors from mistakes which are accidental. Error analysis emerged to address limitations of contrastive analysis, finding that errors also result from the complexities of the second language itself, known as intralingual errors. These can be classified by type, language competency, language level, and gravity. Error analysis follows steps of collecting language samples, identifying errors, describing and classifying them, and explaining errors. It informs teaching by showing learning occurs through errors, and helps teachers understand student learning. However, error analysis also has weaknesses like insufficient attention to factors influencing errors.
Model question paper for sociolinguistics
This document outlines the structure and sections of a model question paper for a sociolinguistics exam. It is divided into three sections: Section A requires students to answer two out of three long essay questions about the scope of sociolinguistics, how social factors influence language change, and the relationship between language and culture. Section B requires students to answer four out of six short essay questions about topics such as historical linguistics and language variation. Section C requires students to answer six paragraphs from a choice of eight about topics including linguistic repertoire, code switching, and pidgins.
Code Switching and Code Mixing
This document defines and distinguishes between code switching and code mixing in bilingual communication. It explains that code switching involves changing languages unpredictably to fit the environment, and can occur between sentences or within a sentence. In contrast, code mixing involves borrowing words from one language into another without a change in topic, often within a single sentence. The document provides examples and discusses reasons for using code switching or code mixing, including lack of a word in one language, emphasis, or expressing group identity.

Language and Identity
This document summarizes a lecture about language and identity. It discusses how structuralism cannot address context, style, and identity considerations. It also discusses how language ideologies view languages as emblems of national identity but that languages are actually more complex, with multiple codes and practices woven into cultural life. Finally, it provides examples of the political histories relating to marginalized languages like Welsh and Mexican Spanish in the contexts of Wales and the United States.
Language and Culture
This document discusses the relationship between language and culture through several lenses. It explores how nonverbal communication like gestures and facial expressions vary across cultures. Ethnolinguistics examines how language and culture influence each other, with some arguing that language structures thought and others that culture structures language. The document also compares features of human language like arbitrariness, productivity, and displacement to communication systems in other species like bees, finding both similarities and differences.
Language and Gender (Sociolinguistic)
The document discusses differences in language use between men and women in several areas: minimal response, question asking, turn-taking, changing topics, self-disclosure, verbal aggression, and politeness. Women tend to provide more minimal responses like "mhmm" in conversations. They also ask more questions and are more likely to take turns in discussions. Men typically change topics less and focus more on their own points. Self-disclosure and expressions of emotions also differ between genders.
Language and gender
This document discusses theories of language and gender from historical perspectives. It covers dominance approaches viewing women's speech as subordinate due to societal inequalities. Difference theory sees gender differences in language due to socialization into different subcultures. Current social constructionist theory views gender as negotiated through interaction rather than innate. Variation within and across cultures is explored, finding women sometimes have restricted access to prestigious languages or act as cultural brokers between groups.
L1 interference
This document discusses language interference that occurs when learning a second language. It defines L1 as one's native or first language and L2 as a second language learned afterwards. L1 interference happens when a learner's first language influences their acquisition of the second language. This can cause positive transfer, when rules of both languages are similar, or negative transfer, when rules conflict. Negative transfer leads to errors in areas like pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and semantics. The document provides examples and discusses factors that can influence the degree of interference, like differences between the languages. It concludes that learning involves mistakes and the L1 can both help and hinder L2 learning depending on similarities and differences between the languages.
Language & Gender
This document covers the topics of gender identity, sex versus gender, masculine and feminine traits, and styles of speech between men and women. It provides dictionary definitions of sex and gender, examines how gender identities are influenced by both biological and social aspects, and looks at how masculinity and femininity are expressed differently across cultures and situations.
6 teaching culture
Culture can be defined in several ways:
1. Traditionally, culture referred to civilization as opposed to nature, including high art and intellectual achievements.
2. Anthropologists view culture as a worldview comprising the knowledge, beliefs, arts, and customs acquired by people as members of a society.
3. Cultural anthropologists see culture as systems of symbols people use to communicate and understand each other.
Culture encompasses the distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features of a society or group, including art, literature, lifestyles, beliefs and values.
Sapir Whorf hypothesis
The Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis proposes that the structure of a language affects its speakers' worldview or cognition. It includes two principles: 1) Linguistic determinism, that language determines thought, and 2) Linguistic relativity, that different languages encourage different ways of understanding the world. Debate exists around whether language truly determines thought or just influences it. While some studies support the hypothesis, others have found universal patterns of thought across languages. The hypothesis remains an area of interest in linguistics but is seen as too extreme in its strongest claims.
Language and gender presentation
This document discusses gender differences in language use. It begins by defining sex as biological differences between male and female, while gender describes masculine and feminine social and cultural characteristics. Several studies and linguists are cited that suggest women generally talk more, are more polite and cooperative, while men swear more, talk about sports and machines, and try to dominate conversations. Differences are also noted in topics discussed, use of questions versus statements, eye contact, and intent to connect versus gain status. In conclusion, literature shows clear differences between how men and women communicate, which may be influenced by their differing social roles and upbringings.
Language and culture
This document discusses the relationship between language and culture. It makes three key points:
1) Language is the primary means of transmitting culture from one generation to the next and helps establish shared cultural identities.
2) The structure of a language influences how its speakers view and categorize the world, as demonstrated by the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. Different languages encourage different conceptualizations.
3) Culture strongly influences language acquisition and use, affecting vocabulary, social conventions around self-reference, and high- versus low-context communication styles. Language both shapes and is shaped by the cultures of its speakers.
Inter-language theory
The document defines inter-language as the language system produced by second and foreign language learners who are in the process of learning a new language. Inter-language develops based on rules from the learner's first language and the target language, and may not reflect features of either. The inter-language system changes over time as rules are altered, deleted, or added. Learners progress through stages from early approximations of the target language to later intermediate and final stages. Fossilization occurs when errors become impossible to correct despite ability and motivation.
Language death and language loss
Languages are dying at an alarming rate, with approximately half of the world's 6,500 languages endangered or extinct. A language dies when no one speaks it anymore. As a language's domains of use shrink and its speakers become less proficient, the language gradually dies, as seen in the case of Annie and her Aboriginal language Dyirbal. When the current generation of speakers passes away, the language will likely become extinct if not revitalized. Gradual language loss and death occurs as communities shift to majority languages in more social contexts over time.
What is the role played by the Native Language in SLA
The native language plays an important role in second language acquisition (SLA). SLA is the process by which people learn a second language and draws from various disciplines like psychology, education, and cognitive psychology. SLA occurs in stages, starting with a pre-production stage where learners receive vocabulary but do not speak. Later stages include production of short phrases, emergence of speech using simple structures, and intermediate fluency with more complex sentences and vocabulary. Ultimately, fluency comparable to native speakers can be achieved after 5-10 years of learning. Theories of SLA posit that second language acquisition mirrors first language acquisition and is influenced by the native language.
Sociolinguistics - Chapter Two - Language choice in multilingual communities
This document discusses language choice and code switching in multilingual communities. It defines code switching as alternating between two or more languages in discourse, with one language typically dominant. Code mixing occurs when speakers use two languages below the clause level. The codes chosen convey how the speaker wishes to be viewed by others. Diglossia refers to using distinct language varieties for different social functions, with the "high" variety not used in everyday conversation. Code switching is intentional based on factors like topic or audience, while code mixing has no specific purpose and inserts words from another language.
Sociolinguistics Speech Communities
The document discusses the concept of speech communities. It defines a speech community as a group of people who share similar language ideas, uses and norms. It notes that members of a speech community use language according to a set of shared norms and characteristics. The document outlines key elements of speech communities including population, area, facilities, identification and interaction. It also discusses sociolinguistic variables that can cause one to belong to one speech community and not another, such as age, social class, education and others.
SLA ,Learning Theories , Second language Aquisition
This document discusses theories of second language acquisition (SLA). It covers linguistic, psychological, and sociocultural theories including: Universal Grammar, Monitor Theory, Natural Order Hypothesis, Comprehension Input Hypothesis, Affective Filter Hypothesis, Behaviorism, Contrastive Analysis Hypothesis, Cognitive Psychology, Information Processing Theory, Connectionism, Processability Theory, Interactionist Perspectives, Sociocultural Perspectives, Interlanguage, Developmental Sequences, and the role of the first language and instruction in SLA. The document provides an overview of many influential theories that aim to explain how people learn a second language.
Code Switching, Types and Reasons
This document discusses code switching, which is when multilingual speakers alternate between two languages or varieties of the same language in a single conversation. It defines code switching as the process of keeping the linguistic features of each language while switching between them to facilitate conversation. There are three main types of code switching: inter-sentential, which occurs at sentence boundaries; intra-sentential, which occurs within sentences; and tag switching, where a word or phrase from another language is inserted into the conversation. Examples of each type are provided.
Material adaptation
The document discusses the role of textbooks and materials in English language teaching. It addresses both the advantages and disadvantages of using textbooks in the classroom. Some key points made include:
- Textbooks are widely used but also debated in the ELT field due to issues around how well they guide learning and represent language/culture.
- Advantages of textbooks include helping students measure progress, being time/cost effective for teachers, and supporting less experienced instructors.
- Disadvantages include textbooks sometimes being too rigid or reflecting author biases, and unnatural language models.
- Effective adaptation of materials is important to achieve congruence between variables like objectives, students' needs, and teaching style. Teachers should analyze when and how
Individual differences in l2 acquisition
This document summarizes several factors that influence individual differences in second language acquisition: language aptitude, motivation, and learning strategies. It describes John Carroll's theory of language aptitude consisting of phonemic coding ability, grammatical sensitivity, inductive language learning ability, and rote learning ability. It defines instrumental, integrative, resultative, and intrinsic motivation. It categorizes learning strategies as cognitive, metacognitive, or social/affective and notes that good language learners are very active, aware of their learning process and style, and flexible in using appropriate strategies.
Second Language Acquisition Theories
This document discusses several theories of second language acquisition, including behaviorism, innatism, and Krashen's Monitor Model. It provides details on behaviorist theory proposed by Skinner, innatist theory by Chomsky, and five hypotheses in Krashen's Monitor Model: acquisition vs learning, the Monitor, natural order, input, and affective filter. The theories differ in their views of the language learning process and what factors influence it.
Language Change Part 1
The document discusses different views on language change, including seeing change as decay, progress, or a neutral process. It outlines the long tradition of lamenting language change, particularly among 18th century writers who admired Latin and saw English as declining as it lost inflections. Even in the 20th century, complaints continued about declining standards of speech and the growing unintelligibility of English. The document also contrasts prescriptive approaches focused on correctness and rules with descriptive approaches that study how language is actually used.
Ludwik Zamenhof
Ludwik Zamenhof was a Polish ophthalmologist who invented the international language of Esperanto in 1873. He developed Esperanto to be easy to learn in hopes that a common language could help reduce conflict between cultures and build understanding. In 1887, he published the first book detailing Esperanto under the pseudonym "Dr. Esperanto." Since then, Esperanto has grown into the most widely spoken constructed international auxiliary language in the world through the work of Zamenhof and subsequent speakers.

What is interlinguistics.
Interlinguistics is the study of planned languages designed for international communication between speakers of different native languages. It emerged in the 17th century from the works of philosophers John Wilkins, René Descartes, and Gottfried Leibniz. In the late 19th century, planned languages like Volapük were created to facilitate global trade and commerce. The Auxiliary Language Movement in 1900 promoted languages like Latino Sine Flexione and Esperanto gained popularity after its first international congress in 1905. Planned languages can be categorized as a priori or a posteriori depending on whether their vocabulary is based on existing languages. Interlinguistics traces its origins to
Ppt on travels with herodotus
This document provides biographical information about Polish journalist Ryszard Kapuściński and summarizes his book "Travels with Herodothus". It notes that Kapuściński was born in 1932 in Pinsk and worked for the Polish press from 1951 onwards. It discusses his travels to India, China, Egypt, Congo, Ethiopia and Senegal for his reporting work. It also explains that Kapuściński saw the Greek historian Herodotus as the first real journalist and took him along metaphorically on his travels. The book was originally published in Polish in 2004 and has since been translated into over 30 languages.

Literature the power of words
This document discusses the power of literature through history. It provides examples of famous writers like Jack London, Julien Green, and Henri Troyat who have contributed to the heritage of literature through their works. Literature allows humanity to explore ideas, share experiences, and gain wisdom. It influences other art forms like music, as seen in the example of singer Brooke Fraser who was inspired by Jack Kerouac's writing to compose songs. The document encourages continuing to explore literature through platforms like Project Gutenberg.
Longfellow1useme.ppt
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was a 19th century American poet who helped establish a national literature in the United States. Some of his most famous works drew on American themes and settings, including The Song of Hiawatha, which told the legend of a Native American culture hero who brings peace to warring tribes. While praised for preserving Native American stories, the poem contains some historical inaccuracies and stereotypes. Nonetheless, it was enormously popular and helped inspire interest in Native American culture and folklore. The poem also influenced other artists, such as the Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, who was inspired by it to include Native American influences in his New World Symphony.
A TIMELINE HISTORY OF LINGUISTIC.pptx
Noam Chomsky is considered one of the most influential linguists of the 20th century. He published Syntactic Structures in 1957, which laid the foundation for generative grammar. His 1965 book Aspects of the Theory of Syntax further developed these ideas. Ferdinand de Saussure is recognized as the father of modern linguistics. His ideas in the Course in General Linguistics, published after his death in 1916, established the distinction between langue and parole and were influential in the development of structural linguistics. Steven Pinker has also made important contributions to our understanding of language acquisition and evolution through works such as The Language Instinct.
Lingustic relativities
This document discusses the principle of linguistic relativity and how different scholars have approached it over time. Some key points:
- Linguistic relativity holds that a language can influence other aspects of life and must be considered. However, scholars have differed on whether to affirm or deny its importance.
- Each of the world's thousands of languages is distinct in sounds, words, grammar, etc. But they all share tremendous diversity.
- Scholars like Boas rejected the idea that language determines thought or that language, culture and cognition are necessarily linked. However, they acknowledged that language shapes habitual thought.
- Later scholars like Sapir and Whorf further explored how language influences thought, though their views have

An alternative globalisation: Why learn Esperanto today?
Federico Gobbo presents an overview of Esperanto and why it is still relevant today. Esperanto was created in the late 19th century during a period of optimism about international cooperation and the potential for a universal language to unite Europe. While Esperanto's popularity declined after World War I, the language continues to have communities of speakers who use it both socially and to produce original cultural works. Gobbo argues that Esperanto remains valuable for its role in fostering multilingualism, as a platform for international cultural exchange, and as a symbol of an alternative form of globalization that respects diversity and human rights.

The document discusses Esperanto and its potential to foster European identity. It provides background on Esperanto's origins in the late 19th century amidst hopes for a universal language. Esperanto communities formed across Europe and internationally. However, the two World Wars weakened the Esperanto movement. Today, Esperanto is still used by some communities and families, particularly for its ease of learning. The document describes a small pilot study the author conducted with Esperanto families living in Europe to understand their perspectives on European identity.

DAT FAMOUS CHICKEN DEBATE
In I 8 52 , when D r. Roget first introduced his Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases to
British readers, h e made it clear tha t h is primary objective was to provide them with a
toolbox that would "facilitate the expression of ideas an d assist in literary composition."
The Thesaurus, h e believed, could sensitize people to the intricacies of meaning, nar-
rowing the troublesome gap between what people say and what they mean to say. Ulti-
mately, Roget hoped that his efforts would lead to the development of a precise and
universal language that would do away with "that barrier to the interchange of thought
and mutual good understanding between man and m an, which is now interposed by
the diversity o f their respective languages." •
Yet alongside h is utopian vision o f a philosophically exact language, Roget was also
a realist. Living in Mayhew's London, h e was well aware that he inhabited a world in
which a cacophony of tongues marked out the differen ces between people of diffe rent
classes, cultures, and nations. In spi te of h is own preju dices, which are well represented
in the Thesaurus, it was this recognition that convinced Roger to include a wide array
of colloquial terms in his fas tidiously organized linguistic universe. As noted in his
"Introduction," the Thesaurus contained "many words and expressions, which the clas-
sical reader might be disposed to condemn as vulgarisms, or which he, perhaps, might
stigmatize as pertaining rather to the slang than to the legitimate language of the day."
Ro ger's embrace of slang was pragmatic. In deciding which words should be incor-
porated, he wro te, "I could not have attempted to draw any strict lines of demarcation;
and far less could I h ave presumed to erect an y absolute standard of purity. My object,"
he continued, " ... is not to regulate the use of words but simply to supply and to sug-
gest such as may be wanted on occasion, leaving the proper selection entirely to the
discr etion and taste of the employer."
In the United States, when the first American edition o fRoget's tome ap peared, its
editors believed that "the discretion and taste of the employer" was not to be trusted.
They made the decision to eliminate all slang from the compendium. In a society still
grappling with establishing a civilized natio nal identity, perhaps the editors felt that this
exclusion would better serve the development of the nation. Yet as a guide to both spo-
ken an d written idioms, this omission made li ttle sense. By the ti me a secon d edition
appeared in 1854 , slang terminology was restored, albeit in a separate section at the
357
PART SIX-MO DERN BATTLEGROUNDS OF TYPE
end of the book. This separation emphasized a demarcation between proper and
improper language that R oget, him self, was un willing to make. Subsequent
American editions of the Thesaurus dropped this policy of linguistic segrega-
tion and rest ...

AFRICAN LITERATURE IN THE MAKING FROM PRE-COLONIALISM TO POST-COLONIALISM
This document provides an overview of the evolution of African literature from oral traditions to modern written works. It discusses four main phases: oral literature/orature, pre-colonial literature, colonial literature, and post-colonial literature. Oral literature refers to the traditional stories, poems, songs, and other forms passed down orally for generations. Some early written works from the 15th-19th centuries during the slave trade are considered pre-colonial literature. Colonial literature emerged under European colonial rule and influence. Post-colonial literature since independence movements is when African literature established itself as an intellectual movement resisting oppression. The document traces the historical development while acknowledging the complex relationships between oral and written traditions in African literature.
Nationalisms -presentation_ppt
Nationalism emerged in Europe in the late 18th century as new types of communities and identities developed. The printing press helped spread standardized languages and ideas, while the industrial revolution destroyed old bonds and forged new identities in cities. The middle class sought more power and united with other groups by encouraging a shared identity and sense of belonging. By the late 18th century, the idea of the nation state had developed, exemplified by the American and French revolutions. Benedict Anderson's theory of imagined communities argues that nations are imagined and socially constructed by people who see themselves as part of the same group, rather than having long-standing natural elements. A nation is an imagined political community that is conceived as both limited and sovereign.
Commonwealth literature an outline
The document discusses Commonwealth literature and its relationship to post-colonial literature. Commonwealth literature encompasses writing in English from former British colonies and includes exploration of themes like cultural and historical diversity, displacement from colonialism and migration. Some of the most famous Commonwealth writers mentioned are Salman Rushdie, Kazuo Ishiguro, and Zadie Smith.

A data driven approach to translation outcomes
Measuring translation quality is a persistent challenge for the localization industry. As the amount of multilingual content created every year continues to grow, translation quality becomes critical for achieving desired business goals and requires a predictive assessment at the center of the translation process.
These slides of our latest webinar "A data driven approach to translation outcomes" challenges the presumption that translation quality cannot be quantitatively measured and examines the data that is needed to improve modern translation management strategies. The unparalleled transparency made possible by data enables global brands to make shrewd evaluations of translators.
Smartling’s newly-launched Quality Confidence Score™ (QCS) is a prediction of expected accuracy based on the analysis of more than 75 behavior-based success factors. As a result, the QCS™ can identify and predict the likelihood of careless translations, and it can inspire strategic workflow adjustments based on metrics gathered and analyzed throughout the translation process, allowing customers to gain reliable and actionable insights to optimize their business in real time.

Using technology and data can help improve translation outcomes and lower costs. Translation is challenging because app code, content, and languages are interdependent and updates require coordinating releases. While translation quality is difficult to measure, tools that provide metrics can help ensure high quality at a reduced cost and accelerated time to market through automation and integrations. Companies that have implemented Smartling's translation platform have seen measurable results like 6x faster time to market, 96% of translations published without corrections, and 33% lower annual expenses.

Three Considerations Before Globalizing Your Website
This document discusses three considerations for globalizing a website: people, processes, and technology. It addresses translation vs localization vs globalization, and notes that people factors include governance, technology, localization design, quality control, traffic, and budget. Process factors involve headquarters. Technology considerations are translation, communication, digital assets, and whether the site will be one global site or multiple local sites. It provides contact information for Beth Granger.
Starwood Translation ROI Model
This document summarizes Starwood's efforts to optimize its global translation strategy using a data-driven return on translation spend (ROOTS) model. It finds that selectively translating in markets where language revenue exceeds translation costs, rather than translating all content globally, can save $300k annually while maintaining 97%+ of core language revenue. Savings can partly fund expanding secondary languages like Chinese and Italian that offer significant revenue potential. Initial results validating the model show no impact on conversions from reducing core translations or gains from expanding select languages.
Global Travel in the Age of Uber and Airbnb
Smartling SVP of Operations Kevin Cohn discusses the growing impact of translation on the Travel & Hospitality customer journey.
Translation Technology ROI
The document discusses 10 ways to measure the return on investment (ROI) from translation efforts and 5 additional ways that using a translation software platform can boost ROI. The 10 ways to measure translation ROI include tracking increases in eyeballs/traffic, downloads, users, customers, engagement, satisfaction, loyalty, share of addressable market, and revenue after providing translated content. The 5 ways a translation platform can boost ROI are through faster translation times, allowing teams to better focus on core work, providing greater control over branding, enabling better scalability to add languages/countries, and facilitating greater growth potential than manual translation processes.
50 shades of translation
The document discusses various translation workflows, ranging from full transcreation developed by in-language copywriters to translation by professional translators without editing or project management. It provides details on the typical projects, risks, providers, and benefits of 16 different translation options. The options are presented on a "scandal factor" scale from low to high based on their appropriateness and risks.
MUST-HAVE STATS FOR GLOBAL MOBILE MARKETING
This document provides statistics on global mobile trends to help with mobile marketing efforts. It discusses that there are nearly 7 billion mobile subscriptions worldwide, representing 75% of the global population. It also notes that mobile subscribers will reach 8.5 billion by the end of 2016. Key markets for mobile and smartphone adoption include China, India, Brazil, and countries in Africa and the Middle East. The document recommends localizing mobile apps and content for major languages to succeed in different global markets.
French in Canada and French in France. 50 Differences That Might Surprise You
There is a common assumption that the French in France and Québec are one and the same. Of course it’s the same language, observing the
same rules of grammar, but much like the variations in Spanish and English from around the globe, Canadian French has a personality all its own. After relinquishing “New France” to Great Britain in
1763 as part of a peace agreement, France turned away from its former colony almost entirely, which allowed Québecois French to evolve independently.
Continuous Deployment
- Continuous deployment involves releasing code changes to production as soon as they pass all tests, allowing for frequent, low-risk releases.
- Smartling transitioned to continuous deployment by gradually gaining team buy-in, celebrating small wins, and instituting practices like automated testing, monitoring, and single-button deployments.
- This resulted in benefits like quicker feedback, fewer bugs, easier rollbacks, and happier users and management who saw frequent new features.
The Evolution of Content
Content marketing guru, Joe Pulizzi, shares five elements to consider in developing a strong content marketing strategy.
Internationalizing your website? There's an app for that!
The document discusses translation technology and platforms. It outlines features like displaying and storing content in different languages and formats. It advises developers and managers to use automation instead of manual processes for translation. The document also shares customer stories from SurveyMonkey, GoPro, and Foursquare about using translation technology to solve challenges and see business results like increased signups and sales.
Getting Started with Gaming Localization
The document provides tips for effective localization of video games and other digital products. It recommends using human translators and setting realistic deadlines. Text should be separated from code and context provided to translators. Hardcoding and copying previous translations should be avoided, and numbers, dates and fonts may require localization. Consistency is improved by using the same translation providers and taking advantage of translation memory.
