Multi-language Capabilities

“Translation is not a matter of words only: it is a matter of making intelligible a whole culture. — Anthony Burgess“

A Smaller World

Today, the world is growing smaller. Technology has made it possible to run IDIs (In-depth Interviews) and Focus Groups around the world in real time using web-enabled and wireless cell technology and advanced fiber optic phone lines.

Interpretation is Key

Hundreds of IDIs and Focus Groups are run every day in multiple languages, frequently in languages not spoken by the product sponsor. To enable the right decisions, it is critical that respondent thinking is accurately translated.

The Tower of Babel

Despite advances in technology, the world is far away from speaking one universal language. Yet in a global economy with international brands, it is essential that marketers understand what consumers and respondents think.
