Inmediatamente surge la pregunta: por qu\u00e9 AmCham, uno de los firmes promotores del fomento del ingl\u00e9s en Chile, ha tomado esta decisi\u00f3n aparentemente contradictoria. Es una pregunta que merece respuesta.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hace 30 a\u00f1os, Chile era un pa\u00eds muy diferente. Muchos de los altos ejecutivos de empresas norteamericanas en Chile eran extranjeros, cuyo idioma materno era el ingl\u00e9s y encontraban los art\u00edculos en la revista de AmCham no s\u00f3lo de m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil lectura que las revistas de negocio chilenas, sino una publicaci\u00f3n que podr\u00eda ser enviada a sus casas matrices para difundir los desarrollos en este pa\u00eds. Durante los diez a\u00f1os de negociaci\u00f3n para llegar al Tratado de Libre Comercio (TLC), la revista fue distribuida extensivamente en la C\u00e1mara de Representantes y el Senado estadounidenses.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pero Chile ha cambiado. Y las comunicaciones tambi\u00e9n. La competencia por el tiempo del lector es feroz y \u00e9ste suele optar por el camino de menor resistencia. Y en la mayor\u00eda de los casos el camino de menor resistencia es el espa\u00f1ol. Hoy los altos ejecutivos de empresas extranjeras hablan ingl\u00e9s, y lo hablan bien, pero su idioma materno es el espa\u00f1ol, por lo que prefieren leer art\u00edculos complejos relacionados con el mundo de los negocios en esa lengua. Es cierto que el idioma de Internet es el ingl\u00e9s y que la web es el gran competidor del medio escrito. Aunque tambi\u00e9n es cierto que casi todo en Internet est\u00e1 tambi\u00e9n en espa\u00f1ol.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hace varios a\u00f1os, AmCham se dio cuenta que su revista bUSiness Chile era de alta calidad, con temas de actualidad, muy bien escrita, con columnas y opiniones acertadas, y con una pol\u00edtica editorial apropiada, y que por tanto su audiencia de lectores pod\u00eda crecer. Se convers\u00f3 informalmente con<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">avisadores, lectores, profesionales de la comunicaci\u00f3n, y todos daban la misma respuesta: una revista t\u00e9cnica en Chile no pod\u00eda ser en ingl\u00e9s. De hecho, dos revistas en ingl\u00e9s con 25 a\u00f1os de historia ya han desaparecido. Se hizo un estudio para ver la factibilidad de producir la revista en los dos idiomas, pero su formato se hac\u00eda muy pesado, adem\u00e1s de aumentar significativamente el costo total. Entonces se opt\u00f3 por publicar la revista en ingl\u00e9s y hacer versiones en los dos idiomas en Internet. Con esto fue posible hacer una evaluaci\u00f3n en el tiempo sobre qu\u00e9 idioma ser\u00eda el preferido y cu\u00e1l servir\u00eda mejor a nuestro p\u00fablico. Opinamos que el resultado de una encuesta ser\u00eda poco fiable, porque los que contestar\u00edan ser\u00edan los que lo leen en ingl\u00e9s. Pero al revisar las cifras en el sitio de la revista, el resultado fue contundente: m\u00e1s del 80% de quienes le\u00edan bUSiness Chile en Internet optaron por el idioma espa\u00f1ol.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">La soluci\u00f3n fue obvia. Invertir las prioridades. Publicar la revista en espa\u00f1ol y poner la versi\u00f3n en ingl\u00e9s y espa\u00f1ol en el sitio web. Al hacer este cambio, tambi\u00e9n se ha aprovechado el momento para cambiar el dise\u00f1o de la revista. Se mantendr\u00e1 el nombre bUSiness Chile, pero ser\u00e1 publicada en un idioma que todos nuestros socios puedan leer f\u00e1cilmente. AmCham seguir\u00e1 dedicado al apoyo del ingl\u00e9s, seguir\u00e1n los debates inter-empresas en ingl\u00e9s para ejecutivos -The Great Corporate Debate-, y seguiremos respaldando toda iniciativa que apoya este fin. Pero la revista ser\u00e1 publicada en un idioma \u00fatil y m\u00e1s c\u00f3modo para nuestros socios, lo que estamos confiados aumentar\u00e1 su lector\u00eda.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--:--><!--:en--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After more than three decades, the AmCham magazine bUSiness Chile, formerly known as The Journal, will from now on be published in Spanish rather than English. This change gives rise to the question: Why has AmCham, such a firm proponent of developing the English language in Chile, taken this seemingly contradictory decision? A question like this deserves a detailed answer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Chile was a very different place 30 years ago. A large number of senior executives at US companies in the country were foreign and native English speakers. As such, they found the articles in the AmCham magazine easier to understand than those of the Chilean business publications. In addition, they were able to send the publication back to their parent companies as a means of sharing the latest developments in Chile. For example, during the ten years spent negotiating the Free Trade Agreement, the magazine was widely circulated in the US House of Representatives and Senate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But Chile has changed, as too have communications. Competition for readers\u2019 time is now fierce, and the trend is usually to follow the path of least resistance. Generally, this path is Spanish. Nowadays, senior executives from foreign companies speak English, and speak it well, although their native language is Spanish. As a consequence, they prefer to read complex articles about the world of business in their mother tongue. It is true that the language of the internet is English and that the web represents the printed press\u2019 main competitor. However, a great majority of the internet is also available in Spanish.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Many years ago, AmCham realized that its bUSiness Chile magazine was a high quality publication, covering current events, well written, with accurate articles and opinion pieces, and a proper editorial policy; strengths which all have contributed to the growth in its readership. Informal talks were held with advisors, readers and communication specialists, and each&nbsp;<span>group came back with the same response: a specialist magazine in Chile, such as this one, could not be published in English. In fact, two English language magazines with 25 years of history in the country have already disappeared. A study was conducted into the feasibility of producing a magazine in both languages, but this format would have been too large, as well as significantly more expensive to publish. The decision was taken to publish the magazine in English and produce online versions in both languages. This way, we were able to conduct an evaluation in to which was the preferred language and which would best serve our members as a result. We did not believe in the reliability of taking a decision based on the results of a survey, given that the respondents would most likely be those who read the magazine in English. However, the figures from the magazine\u2019s website were overwhelming: over 80% of online bUSiness Chile readers chose to read the magazine in the Spanish language.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The solution was obvious: to invest in our priorities and publish the magazine in Spanish, with a version in both languages available on the website. In addition to the linguistic change, the opportunity was taken to re-design the magazine. The name bUSiness Chile will be kept, but it will be published in a language that all our readers can now access with greater ease. AmCham will continue its dedication to English, the inter-company debates provided in English for executives (The Great Corporate Debate), and its backing of all initiatives supporting this goal. But the magazine will be published in a more user-friendly language for our members, who we are sure will read the publication in ever greater numbers.<\/p>\n<p><!--:--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><!--:es--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despu\u00e9s de m\u00e1s de tres d\u00e9cadas, la revista de AmCham, antes The Journal, pero desde hace varios a\u00f1os bUSiness Chile, ha cambiado su idioma de publicaci\u00f3n del ingl\u00e9s al espa\u00f1ol.
