December Newsletter

#ExportingisGREAT   This month we really got involved with the hashtag #ExportingisGREAT – so great that TranslatorsVillage founder and CEO, Blanca Gonzalez, is now an ambassador for the International Export Network. Blanca has been representing TranslatorsVillage at  this December event and is looking forward to attending Chamber International events in 2016.  "Being a member of this group will help us to better understand the gaps that companies face, when deciding to export and to share our experience in Exporting with them. We attended our first session in December and learned about new products developed by Chamber International and UKTI: Looking forward to participating in webinars and future events." Not only that, but we have been working with volunteer translators to contribute aid towards the Syrian refugee crisis. We collaborated with English/Arabic to Farsi translators and produced signs that were to be put up around refugee camps, in particular on the Greek island of Lesbos, trying to make life a little easier for those making the long journey from Syria. At TranslatorsVillage this month, we have been honing our digital, movie-making skills once again to enter an Elevator Pitch competition run by HSBC. Making short films for our YouTube channel and to share on Twitter and Facebook  is great fun and it is an area that we are going to grow over the next few months. In fact, we are already working on another video, with the help of all our wonderful translators, which will be published in the coming weeks. Keep an eye on our social media accounts for updates!   TranslatorsVillage Elevator Pitch

Finally, we are launching a campaign to find out what your New Year's Resolutions or wishes are. You may have seen a video that we shared on Facebook this week about a woman who read a book from every country in the world in a year. Hearing about other people's goals and ambitions are so inspiring and we want to share these on our website's homepage. From eating more healthily to learning a new skill, whatever your goal or wish is for the New Year, we would love to hear from you!

The TranslatorsVillage Team wishes you happy holidays and all the best for 2016.
