Episode 292: EwK292 - Inclusive language - what is it and how can we make our texts more inclusive?

I’ve been wanting to talk about this topic for a while and to bring you a conversation with people who are in more of a position to explain, give examples, and help others to either start thinking or learn more about the topic of inclusive language.

In this episode we talked about:

• What is inclusive language?
• What are some general tips that we can implement to make our texts and speech more inclusive?
• Are there any language-specific aspects, approaches, or challenges that we should be aware of in terms of the languages represented on the panel?
• Different experiences of speaking with clients about making their texts more inclusive or pointing out where the original text was not?
• Inclusive language resources that would be useful for translators.

Thanks Renata, Marina, Alicja, Inès, and Charlotte for making this content with me and I look forward to exploring these topics further with you and others in the future.
