In my home state of New Mexico, a state senator has introduced a bill which would permit computer programming to be considered as a foreign language in state schools. Candelaria’s bill would allow programming languages, such as JavaScript and HTML, to satisfy the Public Education Department’s foreign language requirements. The bill would not mandate that the programming languages be taught, and each school district could continue to decide which foreign language classes to provide. Currently, high school students must complete at least 1 year of a foreign language. Senator Jacob Candelaria said Monday that the bill could help students to develop an important and potentially lucrative skill. It seems that New Mexico is not alone – in Kentucky’s state legislature there is a similar measure pending. The US government is one step ahead, with legislation pending that would provide schools with incentives to teach programming languages to students from the age of 5 years old.

Hi everyone, I joined Web-Translations as an eMarketing project manager in November 2013. I had previously been working in International eCommerce where I managed the online B2C business, specialising in the French market. This was a very broad role ranging from product selection and content management right through to marketing and customer services. This role developed my interest for eMarketing and gives me the benefit of being able to view a project from the clients’ perspective. I graduated in 2010 with triple honours in Business, French and Spanish and during my four year course I spent some invaluable time living and working abroad. I worked for The AA in Lyon, France offering tri-lingual customer service and support. I then moved to Badajoz, Spain where I worked as a British Council English Language Assistant teaching English in two secondary schools. These experiences were fantastic for my languages skills, notably in Spain as the city I lived in has not yet been […]

Web-Translations has just celebrated its 10-year anniversary, and marked the occasion in style with a party at the Crowd of Favours, the newest addition to the Leeds Brewery empire. Guests included staff members both old and new, clients, and translators, with some dedicated party-goers travelling from Germany and Spain to join the celebrations! Everyone enjoyed the impressive buffet, and while the bubbly flowed, Daniel gave a speech thanking all those who have helped the business reach this impressive milestone, to loud cheers from the crowd. We look forward to reaching 20 years in business and beyond!
