November Newsletter
All eyes were on the USA this month with the elections and what a month it was!
With so much at stake, it went right down to the wire, and rallies and speeches played a crucial role in key states. Once again, communication was primordial, and translation and interpreting came into their own to enable the world to follow the latest news as events unfolded, and continue to unfold.
Such big events always bring interesting multilingual projects and we have certainly had a busy month here at LingoStar. This year has shown how essential it is for people to have access to information in a language and format they understand. It's always rewarding to know that we contribute towards closing the language gap.
