Aluminium is infinitely recyclable in diverse European languages

The “must have” booklet entitled “Recycling Aluminium: A Pathway to a Sustainable Economy” has been translated and produced in several European languages.

Aluminium remains unchanged no matter how many times it is processed and used. Therefore, it can be considered as a material with immutable characteristics, one that is not consumed, but used over and over again, without the loss of its essential properties.

The association “European Aluminium” represents the aluminium industry in Europe. It encompasses primary aluminium producers, downstream manufacturers, producers of recycled aluminium and national aluminium associations representing the manufacturers of rolled and extruded products in 18 European countries.

The production of the brochure language versions is the result of the collaboration between the communication team of European Aluminium and the strategic communication agency, Page in extremis.

Located in Brussels, the communication agency, Page in extremis has realised multilingual reports for many well-known European institutions and associations.

What do Europeans think about connected cars?

On February 2016, FIA Region I revealed consumer concerns related to the connected car collected from the My Car My Data public survey including 12,000 European people.

Although the expression of a high level of interest in connectivity, respondents issued a clear message: vehicle connectivity must respect conditions and address privacy concerns.

Across the 12 countries surveyed, 90% say that vehicle data belongs to the owner or driver of the vehicle.

An overwhelming 91% wanted the possibility to switch off connectivity.

A further 76% wanted to decide when and for how long consent to access car data should last.

In the case of a breakdown, an overwhelming majority felt that they should get to choose who repairs the car.

The results of the survey have been the purpose of a report developed by the FIA Region I and entitled  "What Europeans Think About Connected Cars".

The FIA Region I office, based in Brussels, is a consumer body representing 112 Motoring and Touring Clubs and their 38 million members from across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Do you “Japanese” your publication?

Digital publication offers Worldwide organisations and European associations with the ability to create multilingual content for the benefit of their international audiences.

Digital publishing allows producing, at an affordable cost, efficiently digital versions of publication in an increasing number of languages.

There are different ways to present the translated content, which can impact the graphic design of the publication.

The most common format of presentation is an interactive pdf in a single-language. In that case,  each language version of the publication can be separately downloadable.

Another solution is a multilingual publication built as an application that can contain two or more sets of translations of the original content. The language versions are developed through “toggling” or “side-by-side” effects.

With the “toggling” approach, users navigate through content written in different languages by pressing a “language switch”.
The article toggling effect provides a uniform user experience, but it requires extra work to make it happen.

The “side-by-side” approach places the translations next to each other, typically with differentiation in the font types, sizes and colors.

Located in Brussels, the communication agency, Page in extremis has realised multilingual online reports for many well-known European institutions and associations.

Is Europe doing enough to invest in children?

In its latest report, Eurochild looks at how the European Semester can deliver better for children.
In a situation where more than one child in four is growing up in poverty and social exclusion, Europe needs urgently to prioritise efforts to ensure all children have equal opportunities.

The key message of this report is that Member States need to prioritise investment – of both national and EU resources – in children, in line with national integrated strategies for tackling child poverty and promoting children’s well-being.
If efforts are fragmented, piecemeal or not backed up by adequate funding, they will be insufficient and ineffective.

Despite the EU policy guidance in place since 2013 in the form of a Recommendation and its clear links to EU policy monitoring and funding, there is little evidence of any improvement in the situation of children in Europe.

Coherent child-focused strategies are still missing in the Member States, and when such strategies have been put in place, full implementation and financial backing is weak.

Page in extremis is proud to have participated in the creative development and the graphical production of the publication.

Page in extremis is specialised in communication with sensitive issues. The communication agency creates and refreshes human-centered brands and develops percussive digital and classic media.

Hi Digital World! Bye-bye Print?

While each media channel has its advantages and disadvantages, newspapers and magazines have some pros about digital forms.

- Newspapers and magazines have devoted readers: they can stay in houses or offices for months or years while digital can disappear into cyberspace.

- Readers are more engaged when reading printed material than websites, which are often skimmed.

- There is something about print that gives a sense of legitimacy.

In fact, it is a nonsense to create a competition between the digital communication and the print. Both present different advantages depending the part of the audience you are targeting.
The best way to communicate with your entire audience is to utilize as many channels as possible; this should not exclude print.
Print still maintains its stance as a powerful and necessary component of a communication campaign.
Finding the right balance between various media will ensure you a larger diffusion of your important messages.

The World Customs Organization apply very well this dissemination strategy: WCO News is the magazine of the organisation and is distributed free of charge in English and French to Customs administrations, international organizations, non-governmental organizations, the business community and other interested readers.
