There’s no need to tout the advantages of video in this era. We all can see its omnipresence in our daily lives. There are all kinds of displays everywhere. And where is our attention drawn most? Why of course, to the ones with moving pictures. And this attention capture is far from the only huge advantage of video. Some say that we retain only 10% of what we read and 50% of what we see and hear. Even if these numbers are not real and just a perpetuation of some urban myth, it’s quite clear that video captivates us and leaves us with stronger impressions than just text or static images. If you’re in doubt, just try scrolling down some social media feed containing text status updates, images as well as videos. How often do you stop to examine a post containing only text, how often post with image and how often one with video? If you’re like most people, you usually scroll through the images, stop at the videos and ignore the text!

The most common and gravest mistake organisations make is falling into the trap of thinking that translating some content is all it takes to succeed in a new market – it’s a tad more complex, but the work is worth the effort!

Starting your own business is no easy task, even when economy is growing. But what about launching a startup when the coronavirus outbreak is severely hurting the global economy? Does this seem to be completely impossible?

Video is a part of modern life. Scripted clips with graphics and time tracking grab viewers’ attention in the first few seconds. In the few minutes that a user spends watching a video, explicit information about a service or product can be conveyed.

Today translation isn’t just a translator working in a regular text document. Translation is a complex process of creating materials in another language while accounting for the features of the market, language and the client’s individual needs. Even if we are now used to translation technologies, the issue of the project manager’s role is still raised occasionally, but this time from another angle. Maybe the project manager simply sends materials back and forth, and fully automating this process could save resources. Coordinating the translation process, while meeting deadlines and budgets and providing quality assurance of the end result is the task of the translation project manager, whether on the part of the translation company or the client.

It is no secret that the success of any organization is greatly dependent on the professionalism of its staff. But given today’s market and increasingly competitive environment, it is not enough to simply find an employee whose education, experience and skills meet your requirements. Whether or not staff training is required is no longer a question. Training is a must. First of all, it improves employees’ skills in satisfying market requirements, while also developing career advancement potential and higher motivation.
