Ukraine Rolls Out Localization Law
Everybody makes fun of their siblings but they will not tolerate it if someone else did that. Because when they do it themselves, they are doing it out of love. We have the same kind of relationship with all the things and people we love. No matter what we say about them, we never do it out of hatred. When someone criticizes their country, they do so because they want it to be better. They don’t want their country to be in a bad state and that’s why they speak up against the wrongdoings of their government. But if someone else criticizes their country, they will be doing so without any concern. This is the difference that make people argue with others who make fun of their siblings or criticize their country.
Everyone loves their culture the same way. Sure, every culture has some outdated customs but that doesn’t mean all of it is bad or needs to be replaced. People can come together and work to bring the necessary changes in their society but they will never want to change their identity. They would not want their culture to be destroyed completely. These things are what define us in the world, our family, our culture, and the country we are born in. The most important aspect of culture is language, which is also something people love, regardless of how complicated it is to study.
Localization Law in Ukraine:
In the past, Ukraine overturned a law required Ukrainian subtitling and dubbing for all movies. But this time, the country has decided to put in a new law that makes Ukrainian compulsory everywhere. The government won’t be the only one making room for the native language in its documents. Businesses made the shift too. Education and healthcare department also switched to Ukrainian.
Businesses had to make the most changed under the new law. It wasn’t just the legal documents that needed a language change, but everything related to a company that is operating in Ukraine was supposed to be updated. From websites to social media pages, everything was to be changed according to the new law. The law also requires that the goods sold in the country should have product information and user manuals in Ukrainian.
Ukraine has decided to value its language and give it the status in the country it deserves. They definitely don’t want their language to disappear in the wind and that’s why they are making sure it is everywhere within the borders of the country. This will also inspire other people to learn Ukrainian.
