Our Faroe Islands Translate campaign has won at the World Media Awards 2018!<br /><br />The online translation service, which saw Faroese volunteers translating by video in a bid to have our unique Faroese language included on Google Translate, was a viral hit last year and now the campaign has won the top Travel & Tourism award at the World Media Award ceremony in London last night. <br /><br />The awards are established to demonstrate the effectiveness of cross-platform, cross-border, content-driven advertising, and to celebrate bold and creative strategies for engaging with international and influential audiences.<br /> <br />Faroe Islands Translate allowed people from around the world to type their word or phrase into the website and to have a translation video instantly recorded by a Faroese volunteer and sent back, free of charge. The initiative allowed people everywhere to learn words in Faroese, whilst watching and listening to a local speaking the language, and also to gain a window into the magical world of those that live in the Faroe Islands.<br /> <br />This year’s win follows the 2017 viral success of the our Sheep View campaign, which also scooped the top award in the same category.<br /> <br />A special ‘takk fyri’ to all the Faroese volunteers and to all of you who tried it! <br /><br />Although the campaign has ended, you can still see thousands of translations at - go check them out! You never know when you might need to say something in Faroese! <br /><br />#AtlanticAirways #FaroeIslands #VisitFaroeIslands
