Although I truly believe I can communicate, I have never done a podcast before. Therefore, I was quite worried I was going to go quiet, nervous or lost while talking to my guests. The epicentre of the series was the language of fashion and the main goal was to find out the similarities and differences between different languages as well as learning about experiences, opinions and knowledge from other experts in the field.
In order to make the conversation more fluid, I outlined a few questions I would like to cover in the first few episodes of the podcast:
Is the abuse of foreign language a thing in your language? Would you say this is an issue for the industry? Focus on the fashion language.
Have you ever thought about the abuse of foreign language before?
How do you cope with terminology that is difficult or almost impossible to localise in your language?
Have you ever come across some words in a foreign language which you have not been able to translate into the meta language?
Do you think the abuse of foreign language is an issue in all languages or not?
How do you feel about using foreign terminology instead of their equivalents in your language?
Speaking of fashion, do you think the overuse of foreign terminology is a trend or is it here to stay?
Do you always find a solution in your language when you have to localise foreign content?
Do you feel language is progressing by using foreign terminology or the other way around?
If you do not understand English, would you feel comfortable reading a Spanish fashion magazine full of english terms?
As a content specialist, how important do you think the message can be for the audience? Do you think it is crucial for a campaign to have the proper message on it?
From 1 to 10, how important do you think language is for a fashion campaign to perform properly?
Although I had the questions prepared, I don’t plan to ask them one by one since I want No More Loaned Language - The Podcast series to be a natural conversation between experts rather than a cold and prepared interview. Instead, I would use these questions as a personal guide to orchestrate the episodes.
