Question 1
1.
Culture is an important factor to consider in the realm of international

a. Slide One
i. List the culture (or country) in the title
ii. Your definition of culture
iii. One picture or graphic that represents the culture
b. Slide Two
i. List the culture (or country) in the title
ii. The translation of your definition of culture
iii. One picture or graphic that represents the culture
To find an online translator, go to your favorite search engine and search
using the term translate.
For this short assignment, insert the definition of culture in your own words
and the translation of your choice into a presentation file (i.e.,
PowerPoint). Imagine this is the short version of a presentation for a
multilingual audience.
Save and submit your file as one of the following file formats: PPT, PPTX, or
PDF.
Select translation tools offer an audio feature, which allows users to listen
to the translated text. Listen to the translation while you are there.
Consider how you can use this tool and other similar tools to prepare for a
