Centra Software: New White Paper Examines Cultural Considerations Surrounding Multilingual Online Events
The white paper, entitled “Cultural Considerations for Successful International Events,” discusses the implications that advanced collaboration technologies have on companies that provide online events supporting multiple languages. According to the white paper, organizations that host multilingual events have to adjust pacing, content design and user interface navigation while considering the cultural norms of their audience. In addition, the importance of roles varies greatly from culture to culture and corporate hierarchy must be considered when constructing an online event program.
Centra Software has for many years enabled multinational organizations to successfully collaborate and learn online through large-scale international and multilingual events. With localized versions available in 14 languages including Chinese and Arabic, Centra leads the industry with the most comprehensive platform for communication, collaboration and learning, built to address the needs of today’s global workforce.
“This white paper is the first of its kind to provide a practical perspective on how localized online events can be successfully implemented within global organizations,” said John Walsh, vice president of product development at Centra. “It avoids technical jargon and focuses on practical, real-world needs, objectives and concerns.” Read the White Paper
