Translation: get it right, or suffer the consequences

Manuel

Language is so easily misunderstood, even when we speak in our own native tongue. And if your words are badly translated, what are you actually telling people about yourself and your business? As Manuel Serrano will explain, it’s really easy to create misunderstandings which give your audience the wrong message completely!

We may think emails fly, but it’s the words in them that do. Technology is new, but words may be old. Meaning changes...or stays. How do you know? If that is so in your language, English, how about in other languages in countries that trade with the UK?

Have you ever bought a product whose instructions were not clear because they had been translated and sounded awful?

Come and listen to Manuel Serrano give us some side-splitting, but true anecdotes that he’s had to deal with in the real world, and learn some clear principles you can use to avoid making the same mistakes.

There is a serious side to this, so please join us and listen to Manuel speak on this issue and you can decide for yourself if it really is a laughing matter or not.

A 4Networking business breakfast is the most effective way to promote your business and services through networking... our dynamic format allows you to quickly build contacts, leads and win new business.
