Where does the information in

dictionaries come from?


A dictionary is a description of the
vocabulary of a language.

It explains what words mean, and shows


how they work together to form sentences.
But where do lexicographers – the people who write
dictionaries – get their information from?

There are two main sources of information about


words: introspection and observation.

Introspection means ‘looking inside’ your own


brain and trying to remember everything you know about
a word.

Observation means examining real examples of


language in use (in newspapers, novels, blogs, tweets,
and so on), so that we can observe how people use
words when they are communicating with one another

part of the Obama Administration’s approach to
the war on terror.  Since 2009, “rogue states”
have become “outliers”; vague phrases like
“overseas contingency operations,”
“man-caused disasters,” “countering
violent extremism” and – most recently –
“kinetic military action” have entered the
national lexicon

•It’s not an accident, and it’s not because the administration is


unaware of the ugly facts about the war on terror; in fact,
President Obama has retained most of the Bush-era policies.  It’s
because members of the administration hope that watered-down

country still faces from Islamic jihadists – and thus more

Website translation is the process of changing an original
(source) language version of web content such as text,
multimedia, e-books, or apps into a different (target)
language by simply substituting words from one language
to another—in context.

Website localization is a more specialized process of


adapting your web content and applications for regional—or
local—consumption. It goes beyond translation to modify
the source language and other site elements to appeal to
the customer’s cultural preferences in their own target
language.
According to Dr. Nitish Singh, Associate Professor of
International Business at St. Louis University, to successfully
compete in today’s global economy organizations must adapt—
or localize—website and digital media content to clearly
resonate with  their international audiences. “From a broad
marketing perspective,” says Singh, “localization basically
means adapting market offerings to best meet end-user
expectations.” (Singh, 2015, pg. 7)*
Expectations may vary by region and industry but they can
typically be broken down into two categories: cultural and
functional.
Some examples of cultural content include:
 Colors, shapes, sizes, styles
 Images, icons, graphics
 Societal codes; i.e. humor, etiquette, rituals, myths,
symbols
 Societal values, power, relationships, beliefs
 Some examples of functional content include:
 Date and time formats, telephone numbers, contact
information
 Weights, measurements, geographical references
 Language and linguistic content; product descriptions,
reviews
In broad terms, translation is to communicate the
meaning of text written in a language (source
language) into equivalent text in another language
(target language). Language localization, means to
adapt a product or service into the language of any
region or country to account for the difference not only
in the language but the culture as well. Language
localization means adapting a product or service to the
needs of the local consumers, aside from the
translation of written text, it could include:
Multimedia and video content
Voiceovers and audio
Websites
Video games
Software
