Language Issues



Language  is  the  key  to  a  person's  identity.  It  is  our  greatest  connection  that  allows  us  understand  each  other. It  can  be  defined  as  a  system  of  conceptual  symbols  that   allows  us  to communicate.   


In  the  E-Commerce,  Language  is  very  vital  especially  in  these  days  of  globalization. example  when  you  create  a website  the  home  page  should  have  versions  in  all  supported  languages,  as  should  all  first-level  link  to  the  home page. beyond  that,  pages  that  are  devoted  to  marketing,  product  information  should  be  given  a  high  translation  priority. To  make  the  customer  understand  more  about  your  website  or  product  just  make  sure  that  the  translation  is  very  clear  and  it  doesn't  change  the  meaning  of  what  you  want  to  say.

The  cultural  elements  is  very  important  because  it  can  affect  -  and sometimes  completely  change  -  the  user's  interpretation  of  text.
Most  companies  realize  that  the  only way  to  do business  effectively  in  other  cultures  is  to  adapt  to  those  culture.  The  phrase  "think  globally,  act  locally"  is  often  used  to  describe  this  approach.  








Why Language is important?

  1. We have been conditioned to think that language is only a tool we use to describe and communicate the world around us, and you can use many different tools (languages) to describe only one world. The more we understand different languages the more we understand other people, Language plays an important role in unity, communication and business. The way we speak their language we gain respect and trust so in this issue language is one of the easiest way to solve a common international problem of the world today.

  2. Language is the key for effective communication. Ex. How could a certain business be recognize if the language used is different from them? How could the products be known and patronize? How could the prospect's attention be caught? Come to think of it. Just set to your mind that without considering the language issue, there will be no room for progression and success.

  3. Ofcourse that is important especially if you are in the business industry! We must be familiar in different languages so that we can communicate w/ them properly. Internet can help us to search for the translation of different languages. But in my opinion, to make it easy why don't we just use English Language, since it is our Global or Universal Language?
