The 4L Trophy is an Adventure Race organised by Desertours.
I’m here since one month now. And, this first month was interesting and rewarding.
If someone suggested you take your next vacation in a part of the world where you didn’t understand the language, what would be your reaction? Fear? Intrigue? Panic? Excitement? Desperate queries about how much English the locals spoke?

The translation industry is mostly made up of individual freelancers working from their home offices. It is a solitary pursuit, which provides the essential focus and concentration for such a task.

New Year’s Eve celebrations are among the oldest and most universally observed. They generally include ceremonies which are expressive of death, invigoration and celebration over the renewal of life. In some countries, parties are thrown on New Year's Eve which last until the early hours of New Year's Day.
It is interesting to see the different ways that the similar tradition of gift-giving at Christmastime has developed in different countries. So as the celebration is nearly upon us, have a Merry Christmas, Happy Christmas, Joyeux Noël, Feliz Navidad and Buon Natale.
Want to spread holiday cheer around the world? Here's our list of Merry Christmas translations in many languages.
This past November, France welcomed members of the G20 to Cannes for the 2011 summit. There were many important topics on the table, particularly the debt crisis in the EU and the cooling world economy. This group represents 85% of the global economy, and therefore finding ways to work together on these important issues is essential. However this group represents 19 countries and the EU, representing a total of 27 member states itself. The 19 member countries represent over a dozen different languages. Clearly not much can get done given this language barrier without the help of the unsung heroes of diplomacy, the interpreters.
