Comment on CROSS-CULTURAL vs. INTERCULTURAL by Mari D. Gonzalez

You’re welcome Solange. I am glad you found my post helpful. I agree with you. Our views of the world are relative to our contextual experiences.
We start with the theory and then, we move into the application. I attempted to clarify these two terms through my personal observations after having a good grasp of their scientific definitions. Best wishes on defending your Masters!

I thank you Mari for the inspiring explanation you give on cross-cultural and inter-cultural communication. Actually, these are two terms I always knew were different, but it has been difficult for me to make that difference. I’m a linguistic student, who has come to understand that we can’t further science correctly, unless it is studied at least from a cultural relative view. I’m about to defend my Masters and was wondering before now: “what if I’m asked to tell the difference between the two terms, since I use a cross-cultural framework”. But now I know and understand the difference. Special thanks to the leading team of Scoop it, and many thanks to you Mari!

Totally agree with you, Maria. The Mexican culture is one that survives and adapts no matter what. Yes!

Comment on When Translations Drift Away from Meaning by Mari D. Gonzalez

One can also argue that mistakes can be made even when we interpret into our native language but not into the country-specific language for target audience. For instance, my native language is Spanish from Mexico and I could be unaware of important local or colloquial terms for Peruvians or Colombians, thus would make similar mistakes. That’s when language localization comes into play.

That is a really interesting observation. I can see your point of how a non-native translator might be prone to literal translation (as opposed to meaning-based translation), though that is not necessarily always true. Anyways, you’re right – it is definitely something to think about. Thanks for the article.
