Fluent in Living Marta Garrido of Merit Publishing International Trainer, educationalist and publisher, Marta Garrido let's us in on the meaning of bilingualism in her life and the way she lives language........ Fluent in Living The advantages of bilingualism in the publishing industry are many and varied. The ability to communicate with others in their native tongue has opened up doors where it might have been impossible to reach clients in foreign language speaking countries. Speaking another language and being familiar with cultural nuances can enhance a person’s working experiences in many fields.	Advantages of Bilingualism in Business In publishing, for instance, it has allowed me to liaise with companies world-wide to develop and produce educational material aimed at the medical profession and the lay public. Foreign clients respond warmly and are more willing to listen when at least the initial contact is in their own language. Another area in publishing in which a second language can be useful is in document editing and approval. Knowing another language provide you the skills to ensure documents are translated properly and all your t’s are crossed before the final production phase. Knowing one of the romance languages well, for example, allows one to see if documents in other romance languages are translated properly.
