Mission Statement
“If you talk to a man in a language he understands,
that goes to his head.
If you talk to him in his language,
that goes to his heart.”
(Nelson Mandela)
Translation does not exist only between different languages.
Each one of us has our own language and we all must be translators all of the time in order to truly understand each other .
HABaLook believes that we must open our minds and “Have a look” at different aspects of the intersection between language and culture.
Our language & culture services support businesses as well as individuals via Translation and Education. The primary purpose is to help ensure that our clients words resonate with the audiences they are targeting, and through that communication, a mutual understanding is achieved.
