NO, PERO WHY?

The bilingual desk

Team up



A schedule notice needs to work in English and Spanish without changing its meaning.



PICK ROLES

Meaning keeper: mark conditions, dates and uncertainty.

Language partner: draft natural wording for the intended readers.

Fresh reader: explain each version in their own words.



WORK THROUGH IT

Compare what readers understood. Ask a fluent speaker to review language you cannot reliably check yourselves.



MAKE THIS TOGETHER

Two versions plus a note about the terms you clarified.



CHECK THE RESULT

Did either version turn a proposed change into a final decision?

Robert M. Entman: Framing

Identifying a frame does not establish a speaker’s intent or prove how every audience member will respond.
