"Lost in Translation?" Here’s something special I discovered in an Indonesian restaurant: 👇 The other night, I visited a small Indonesian restaurant where no one spoke English, and my Bahasa Indonesia was nearly nonexistent. Have you ever felt a bit lost in translation? Since I love exploring different cultures, I was curious about how to connect with the staff despite the language barrier. With the help of Google Translate, I managed to place the order. My smile certainly conveyed my enjoyment of the food and appreciation for the people there. However, the most noticeable change in the atmosphere came when I complimented a staff member on her AC/DC shirt. The whole team burst into laughter and appeared genuinely happy. My takeaways from this experience are: ↳ The universal appeal of music connects people across language barriers. ↳ Shared experiences and similarities help break down walls. ↳ A smile of appreciation is a superpower. Here's the link to business: If you bring a positive spirit and an open mindset into your workplace... ↳ you notice the difference immediately, ↳ build connections more easily, and ↳ ultimately create an environment that fosters growth. Has music or a specific song opened doors for you in your life? I would love to hear about it, so please share your favorite tracks in the comments! #Music #ACDC #Diversity #ConnectingCultures #Growth

In the #Translation and #Localization industry, no matter how #advanced we are, we still face obstacles that are not so easy to overcome. #Emotions are really complicated because it's not as easy as only translating the words "stressed" 😥 or "happy" 😄, nuances are only part of the reasons that paint emotions in vastly different ways. The stakes are high as it differs from one audience to another in how they understand the nuances or handle emotions. That's where #culturalsensitivity and #emotionalintelligence come in. That's why at Afrasia-Trans we focus on working with #native speakers for our target audience, so we can ensure not only accuracy but also cultural appropriation so our content evokes the intended emotions without causing any misunderstanding. #translationservices #localizationservices
