WHEN: Wednesday, August 20, 2014 1500 hrs – 1600hrs (IST)
WHERE: Twitter.com or your favourite Twitter app, using #LinguifyMobile
WHAT: From chargeable incoming calls, we now have free outgoing calls! The time of getting into a queue to get a phone, to now when we can even access internet and useful applications on several utilities at the click of button on our Mobiles; we have come really long way. In the world, where Mobile and Apps are our best friends, software is becoming more tightly connected to humans. But in a country which speaks 122 languages, is it fair to be only able to access information in one standard language – English? Does traditional software (available only in English) going to connect with your consumers in the times when brands are doing everything to personalize and enhance customer experience.
QUESTIONS:
- In a country where more than half internet users are mobile, how important is language?
- How do you see the uptake of language localization in the IT and Mobile industry?
- Why do you think suddenly there is a demand for localization of content?
- What is the more important, accessing your handset in your own language, your favorite apps or both?
