description:

The campaign also highlighted the importance in a global campaign of developing materials in a wide range of languages. The interviews revealed a high priority from field staff for materials in local languages and some support in Geneva for a more strategic approach to languages. Some of the brochures were considered too big to translate with internal resources. Some were able to use other funds while, in Portugal, Ministries helped fund many of the translations in a joint effort that involved the ILO¿s Lisbon and Brasilia offices. All the brochures are now translated into Arabic and Turkish but few so far have made it into Russian for example and major languages like Mandarin, Hindi and Bahasa need to be tackled. The campaign did fund some translations when requested - like Tamil and Sinhalese in Sri Lanka. Other languages translated in the field include Amharic and Swahili. The field was invited and encouraged to ask for translation moneys but there was no over-arching language plan beyond the three official languages (it was "hit and miss" is how one interviewee put it).
