Panelist says the Anglophone & Francophone divide is coming to an end and going forward copywriters will be more proficient linguistically in French & English, reducing - he seems to suggest - quality issues in advertising in Cameroon.

Q & A : audience raises the role pop culture (music) plays in disseminating some languages and some of their corresponding words/concepts i.e. "bobo" that refers to someone from a wealthy background.
#AdTranslationCMR

[MAITRIZ LSP @MaitrizLSP]

As a way forward, panelists advocate transcreation - translation rooted in culture/context-to improve on the quality of advertising translations.

Q & A: participant raises the issue of time, saying the need to keep competitive edge pushes some organisations to translate swiftly, or enlist machine translation...with rather tragic consequences.
#AdTranslationCMR

[MAITRIZ LSP @MaitrizLSP]

Panelists flag not just macro issues like failure to factor in culture but also micro issues like punctuation.

[MAITRIZ LSP @MaitrizLSP]

Panelist suggests one of the issues plaguing the quality of advertising translations in Cameroon is the absence of English-speakers in advertising... corridors of power. Also, there is also the failure to factor the culture aspect.
