Editor's Notes
- #5 When Marguerite asked me to tell the story of language and it’s critical role in saving lives in the world, I decided the best way to do that was through the stories of those for whom we work – and those who work with us.
- #7 Grosses Erdbeben, sehr nah der Oberfläche, Hilfsorganisationen wollten helfen, grosse Organisationen, Response Teams
- #8 Aber auch die Leute wollten helfen! Und suchen Hilfe! Es endet mit einem Ausrufezeichen! Gern wollen wir helfen und das beschreibt eigentlich was TWB macht!
- #10 Was für Unternehmen gilt/ Content Strategen gilt, Grosse Teams arbeiten zusammen, um grosse Sprach- und Kommunikationsprobleme zu lösen.
- #11 Es ist Content Strategien, viele Agenturen und Mitarbeiter intern, die Content erstellen. Woran aber oft – wenn überhaupt – nicht gedacht wird, ist die richtige Sprache und Übersetzung! Und das ist ein Problem, dass die Non Profit Organisationen auch haben. Es wird über Helikopter, Decken, Schuhe etc nachgedacht, aber sie denken nicht daran, wie sie mit der lokalen Bevölkerung kommunizieren können. Das ändert sich langsam! Auch von der UN, anderen Hilfsorgansiationen abwärts wird es langsam klar, dass Kommunikation key ist und dass die Message den Empfänger erreichen muss.
- #12 Das ist dasselbe Problem mit zuviel Content. Es wird massiv Content erstellt, in Englisch und Französisch. In Liberia viele Leute in der Hauptstadt sprechen Englisch/ Französisch aber ausserhalb niemand.
- #13 Und es ist dassselbe Phenomen, dass auch im Content Marketing auftritt! Personen schreiben Content, ohne sich Ihrer Zielgruppe bewusst zuwerden.
- #14 Und auch hier wieder die Parallele … wenn Conten nicht “engaging” ist und nicht mit der Zielgruppe funktioniert. Sollte es kleine Prio sein.
- #17 IBM bildet sogenannte Kohorten! DATA driven Je nachdem wie diese Zielgruppen reagieren, alles automatisch und Daten getrieben, werden daraus Personas gebildet.
- #18 Dasselbe Prinzip gilt bei Crisis Response. Immer wenn eine Krise also eine Gegend erreicht, schauen wir, welche Sprache wirklich gesprochen wird. Also nicht die Sprache der Regierung, sondern die Sprache der Region, wo die Leute sind und Hilfe brauchen. Partner MapAction. Und daraus wird dann ein Plan erstellt!
- #19 Und eine der Dinge, die sich IBM auch wieder schaut die der Weg und ob der Content passt
- #20 Wikipedia ist ein tolles Beispiel für Content-Erstellung. Es hat Peer-Reviews, geschrieben von Ärzten, immer wieder korrigiert, sehr verlässlich und sehr up-to-date. Von Ärzten für Ärzte ... Aber es ist schwer zu verstehen für die Allgemeinheit ... Wer weiss schon was Plasmodium ist ... Und das ist nicht eine Frage der Sprache Wundervolles Projekt mit der Wikimedia Foundation: 100 meistgelesene Artikel in 100 Sprachen in einer vereinfachten Sprache
- #21 Messung von Erfolg
- #22 Impact wird jetzt auch gemessen in der humanitären Arbeit Ost Afrika Wie verhindert man Infektionen und wie behandelt man Infizierte? Zuerst hat man eine Gruppe so befragt Andere hat man Ihnen Informationen in E, gegeben und danach gefragt, und dann in Swahili – von 8 nur bis 16% Also komplett die Zielgruppe verpasst! Swahili – vielleicht auch nicht die Muttersprache, aber weit verbreitet und fast 92%
- #28 Now you know who we are – I want to quickly tell you one more story. I want to take you to West Africa – to tell you the story of a disease named Ebola that killed over 10,000 people in 2014 and 2015. Ebola took hold tragically, ravaging rural villages, terrifying mothers and fathers, wreaking havoc during harvest season. It halted care for all other diseases in the region, diseases like malaria and cholera.
- #31 And we know this – the entire humanitarian response knows this: Had we provided messaging in
- #33 Videos in Krio and Fula
- #34 Unicef says more than 70 per cent of almost 11 million child deaths every year are caused by six issues: Diarrhoea, malaria, neonatal infection pneumonia, preterm delivery, lack of oxygen at birth
- #35 Rev Charles Saylee and his wife Dorris: their daughter died of diarrhoea, despite having rehydration medication. Salz Wasser Flüssigkeit
- #39 Rapid Response Team! 50 freiwillige innerhalb von Stunden!
- #40 Das ist eine Standard Operation Procedure in Crisis Response – Standard keywords, um Social Media etc zu monitoren – das erlaubt uns Leute zu verstehen
- #41 Geo Location – Schnell übersetzt! Daten an die Armee übermittelt, um Leute zu retten und hier medikamente abzuwwerfen
- #49 Helping with SMS and radio information in Tagalog and Cebuano
- #50 Syria speaks – helping refugees with information in Arabic
- #51 Special projects – translating critical information for the UNHCR for Syrian refugees
- #57 Doctors without Borders Zelt – Lesvos Griechenland – nahe der türkischen Grenze Crisis Response Organisation, Arabic, Farsi, Darsi
- #63 We are the protectors of information and knowledge communicated to people in the THEIR language, advocating wide and far for translation as an integral component of humanitarian response. Since 2010, we have worked tirelessly, using language to improve lives and save lives. And we do it four ways: translation of development information, translation of crisis information, training of new translators and constant advocacy. We are volunteers who help make sure Mercy can care for her babies as well as anyone in Silicon Valley. We are new translators learning how to help our communities by translating content into our local languages.
- #66 First in development, Providing critical health and education local language information for NGOS working in development. We translate into local languages and we train translators in languages where there are too few translators – or none – to do the work. We do our translations through the virtual TWB Translation Workspace, where our team of translators work with more than 600 NGO organizations, translating into more than 120 languages – to the tune of almost 32 million words since 2011. Those translations are wide and varied – they are all intended to empower people through information – so they are able to help themselves.
- #68 In preparedness, we focus on reduction of risk – helping humanitarians and affected populations before disaster strikes. We have created the first ever repository of content in local languages that is fully accessible to anyone responding to a crisis. For the first time, we are populating the database with pre-translated information, ready to go.
- #69 The other area of development we focus on is training. In many key languages where we really need to focus, especially in Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, we don’t have translators who can do the work. So we train. More than 100 translators in Kenya, a dozen in West Africa, six around the world focused on Kirundi…
- #70 And on the ground training in Greece into Arabic and Farsi for translators and interpreters
- #75 When Marguerite asked me to tell the story of language and it’s critical role in saving lives in the world, I decided the best way to do that was through the stories of those for whom we work – and those who work with us.
