"Language = Revenue," by ccaps, posted on October 4, 2011

I was catching up on the various translation and localization blogs that I follow and came across this one from back in October.  The author makes a compelling case for why translation acts as a "multiplier" of a company's revenues.  This article is a must read for any business owner:

I just came across this terrific blog entry from Sajan (http://www.sajan.com/), concerning website translation and localization.  These "9 things to consider" are definitely essential if you want to be effective in reaching your target audience in other languages.  Here is the link to the blog:

A Few Good Reads

Thanks to Google Scholar Alerts, it is now easier than ever for the unaffiliated scholar (or, in my case, amateur scholar) to keep up with the latest academic articles in her field, or fields, of interest.  So for those of you who take an interest in the more obscure aspects of language, linguistcs, and translation, here are several articles and books that I have come across recently and think are worth a closer look:

1.  "The Concept of Evolution in Linguistics," by Manfred Bierwisch in The Theory of Evolution and Its Impact 2012.  Read the abstract at the following link:  http://www.springerlink.com/content/r35q74417144q7m2/
2.  "Reader Engagement in English and Persian Applied Linguistics Articles," by Ali Akbar Ansarin and Hassan Tarlani-Aliabdi:  http://journal.ccsenet.org/index.php/elt/article/viewFile/13367/9243
3.  "Learning to Read (Again):  The Social Experiences of Turkey's 1928 Alphabet Reform," by Hale Yılmaz.  The abstract is available at the following link:  http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPage=online&aid=8429246
4.  "The Distribution of Two Indefinite Articles - The Case of Uzbek," by Klaus von Heusinger & Udo Klein:  http://www.ilg.uni-stuttgart.de/vonHeusinger/pub/pub12/Heusinger-Klein-2012-Indefinite-Articles-Uzbek.pdf
5.  "Turkish Indefinites and Accusative Marking," by Umut Özge:  http://www.ilg.uni-stuttgart.de/projekte/C2/publications/ozge-wafl7-final-1.pdf
6.  Is That a Fish in Your Ear?  Translation and the Meaning of Everything, by David Bellos:  http://www.amazon.com/That-Fish-Your-Ear-Translation/dp/0865478570
7.  MOX:  Illustrated Guide to Freelance Translation, by Alejandro Moreno-Ramos:  http://mox.ingenierotraductor.com/p/book.html

    About Rachel's blog, Turkish Dynamite!:

    I love absolutely everything about language, and languages:  learning and studying them, their evolution and history, their anthropological significance…linguistics and language acquisition…proto-languages, ancient languages, modern languages….  And so this blog is not only about translation, the translation industry and business but also about all those things and so much more.  I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it!
