Laura Johnson, a translator in the English Translation Section at UNOG; and Egor Ovcharenko, a Russian reviser at UNHQ, bring us this interesting article about the way United Nations translators work behind the scenes to help multilingual communication happen.
They remind us that if meetings are the engine of the United Nations, multilingual documentation is its fuel. So, just as the wrong fuel can clog up an engine, an inconsistency between language versions or infelicitous wording in just one of them can bring a multilingual debate to a juddering halt.

Localization is key. A strategy that works
Good localization may be pricey, but bad localization is far more costly. A strategy that works at home will not automatically resonate abroad. Operating effectively beyond your border means investing in a new blueprint for success. This requires a comprehensive understanding of your new target audience and market.
