The research examines how Georgian university students from different academic backgrounds—English Philology and Georgian Philology—interpret and respond to the text in its original language and Georgian translation, respectively. Through structured P4C sessions, students generate philosophical questions, engage in collaborative dialogue, and develop reasoned arguments based on their textual interpretation. The findings reveal significant variations in how students from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds engage with themes such as paralysis, epiphany, and moral ambiguity in Joyce's work. English Philology students, reading in the original language, demonstrate greater attention to Joyce's subtle linguistic nuances and Irish cultural specificities. Conversely, Georgian Philology students, working with the translation, show stronger engagement with universal themes that resonate with Georgian cultural experiences and social structures. This research contributes to the fields of comparative literature, translation studies, philosophical pedagogy, and linguistics by providing insights into how cultural background influences literary interpretation, philosophical inquiry, and language use. The study also demonstrates the potential of P4C as a methodological framework for investigating cultural differences through literary analysis.</p> 2025-06-17T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Zinaida Chachanidze, Nino Pkhakadze http://appliedtranslation.nyc/index.php/journal/article/view/1431 Visitor information and advertising in local languages 2025-08-22T08:19:18+00:00 Madona Kebadze kebadze_madona@yahoo.com Tamar Zubitashvili zubitashvilitamari@gmail.com <p>Providing visitor information and advertising materials in local languages is essential for effective communication, cultural sensitivity, and enhanced visitor experience. This approach ensures that diverse audiences can access important information about local attractions, services, and events in a language they understand, thereby fostering inclusivity and engagement. Local language advertising also helps businesses and tourism operators build trust and credibility within the community, encouraging more meaningful interactions and positive perceptions. Implementing multilingual strategies requires careful translation, cultural adaptation, and the use of appropriate media channels to reach target audiences effectively.</p> 2025-08-22T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Madona Kebadze, Tamar Zubitashvili
