Bridging Cultures: Unveiling the Layers of Multilingual Communication

The art of language is like a masterpiece waiting to be revealed. In this episode of Ponderings from the Perch, Carlos Hevia, our Director of Business Development, chats with podcast host Priscilla McKinney as they shine a spotlight on how accurate translation is a game-changer in the market research world. Imagine trying to get reliable data without asking questions in the proper dialect—quite the challenge, right? As Carlos puts it, “If you are not speaking their language, you might not find your insights the way you want to.”

Language and dialect variations are like colors on a canvas, and understanding them is crucial to eliciting open and honest responses from your audience. It’s not just about the words; it’s about how you present them. Carlos shares how surprising it is even for bilingual speakers to realize the degree of nuance in dialect across different regions and localities:

Carlos laughs as he explains: “You say, ‘Are you going to do this for the Guatemalan population in South Carolina, for the Cuban population in Miami, or for the Puerto Rican population in New York?’ and they’ll say ‘Oh gosh, I didn’t think about that!’”
