Making your communications clear and effective using plain language. 📝 I provide communications consulting, training, writing, and editing to nonprofits, the public sector, associations, and more.
The recent ISO plain language standard was a huge step forward in presenting an international consensus on what plain language is and how to create plain language communications. But that was just the beginning! Now there are groups working on specific plain language standards for legal writing and scientific writing. Members of PLAIN (and a few other associations) are invited to comment on the drafts of these new standards. If you're a member who works with legal or scientific texts, have a look and have your say! #plainlanguage #clearcommunications
🚨 If you are a PLAIN member, you should find a nice surprise in your email inbox today. We've just sent an invitation to review and comment on drafts of Part 2 and 3 of the ISO plain language standard. We are delighted to be able to offer members this chance to take an active role in such a significant milestone in plain language history. As you likely know, the ISO - International Organization for Standardization published the first international plain language standard in June 2023. Part 1 of the standard (the one published last year) is for general guidance. We are now working on additional parts, to create guidelines for legal documents and science writing. As a PLAIN member, you can comment on the drafts of Part 2 and Part 3. All the details you need are in the email. We look forward to hearing your thoughts. #plainlanguage #ISO #plainlanguagestandard

And one wonders why nations don't get along. if we can't agreed on something as simple and universally binding as the way we express the date, then you understand how difficult it is to have world peace. I wonder what are the factors limiting adoption of the ISO standard?
You’d think something as common and important as writing dates would be standardized by now. And in fact it is, ISO 8601 sets the international for writing dates as YYYY-MM-DD. Writing the date across the world. Canada looks confused.

Independent business consultant | Providing strategic advice to get the best from tech and human resources
"ISO 17100 is the top international standard for the translation industry. It’s not a nice-to-have, it’s a must-have." Still there? ISO 17100 is like a broomstick shoved up one's butt, making a long-outdated, costly, stiff, and clumsy process even stiffer, undermining all efforts to improve efficiency and flexibility, and clashing helplessly with every other process. It is the proven proof that every business-related quality idea conceived by brilliant management experts is considered crap because translation "entrepreneurs" and "professionals" are different and know better than anyone else, no matter how successful, smart, savvy. So the next time a customer refuses to be polite and looks at you squinting, show them the ISO 17100 certificate and then charge them for making them laugh like they haven't in years.

I had the privilege of translating over 30,000 words of meeting regulations and speeches for an international audit institution in the past two weeks, receiving commendations for my handling of language, terminology, and formatting. Complex professional terms, initiative names, and so much more needed to be kept in mind, but I truly love the process and was able to successfully complete this challenge. Huge thanks to my client for their trust and feedback! #translation #翻译
