English - the world’s number one language
Its current 1.5 billion speakers clearly make English the world’s number one language at present. However, there is much more than just one single type of English. In addition to regional varieties innumerable sociolects and lingos further add to its complexity not precisely making things any simpler for that.
As the business world’s lingua franca English is the ideal vehicle for global communication - subject to perfect command. Creativity and gaffes are just a narrow ridge apart but often throw long shadows. BSE - bad, simple English - may do for small talk with friends, albeit it is definitely less of an option for high-class company brochures and presentations. This is why many of our clients, despite their excellent English language skills, prefer entrusting their high-level translation projects to our expert translators whilst allowing our interpreters to make sure that their message is understood clearly in any language they desire.
