💡 Did you know today is International Mother Language Day? 💡 International Mother Language Day is celebrated annually on February 21 to promote awareness of linguistic and cultural diversity and encourage multilingualism. Established by UNESCO on November 17, 1999, this day serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and respecting all languages worldwide. 🌍 Language is more than just a tool for communication, it shapes how we think, learn, and connect with the world. Our mother tongue is often the first language in which we experience knowledge, emotions, and culture. It’s the language that feels most natural, the one in which we best understand complex ideas and express ourselves fully. 🎙️ Studies show that children learn best when taught in their mother tongue, especially in early education, as it strengthens cognitive development and critical thinking skills. In the book "Language, power and pedagogy", James Cummins discusses the importance of a child's first language in cognitive and academic development, arguing that strong foundations in the mother tongue contribute to better learning outcomes in a second language.  In the digital era, AI has opened doors to knowledge like never before, but true accessibility comes when people can learn in a language that resonates best with them. At ICS-translate, we help facilitate truly inclusive education by delivering accurate translations for education providers. Because education should empower everyone, everywhere, no matter what language they speak. ✨ ❤️ #InternationalMotherLanguageDay #LanguagesMatter #LinguisticDiversity #InclusiveEducation

🌍 The Power of Language in Travel: Why Tourism Translation is More Than Just Words ✈️ Ever read a travel brochure that just didn’t feel right? Or a hotel website that sounded... off? That’s often the result of literal translation, and in tourism, that can mean the difference between either inspiring a traveller or losing them. Tourism translation isn’t just about converting words from one language to another. It’s about capturing cultural nuances, evoking emotions, and creating experiences before the journey even begins. A few key considerations when translating for the travel industry: 🗺 Cultural Adaptation – What works in one country might not resonate in another. A classic example is the Chinese railway sign "小心失足" ("Mind the Gap"). If translated too literally without cultural consideration, it could become "Beware of Missing Foot", turning helpful guidance into tourist confusion. 💡 Creativity Matters – Linguistic differences, such as sentence structure and wordplay, play a huge role in how a message is conveyed to a new audience. For example, Haribo's Spanish slogan "Vive un sabor mágico, ven al mundo Haribo!" ("Experience a magical flavour, come to the world of Haribo!") is significantly different from the English version, "Kids and grown-ups love it so...the happy world of Haribo". In Spanish, the rhyme between "mágico" and "Haribo" enhances the slogan's flow, making it more appealing to the local audience. 📍 SEO & Digital Reach – Travellers search in their own language. If your content isn’t optimised for multilingual search, potential customers may never find you. The best tourism translations don’t just translate. They take readers on a journey before they even pack their bags. #TourismTranslation #Localisation #TravelIndustry #Translation
