We should take advantage of this
open mind to approach and change the view of this group which may well not consider the
promotion of the use of Catalan necessary in their company, despite seeing more business
opportunities than threats.
Finally, we
would also recommend the widespread diffusion and communication of the agreements signed
between the Consorci per la Normalització Lingüística and CECOT, and of those signed
with trade associations.
8. Listing of Linguistic resources for business companies
Further the
interest showed by the companies about linguistic services, several centres of the

de serveis lingüístics per a lempresa) which contents more than
80 resources and services related to:
1. Information
on basic and specialized bibliography about Catalan
2. Computer
Resources :
2.1 Information about spellchecks
2.2 Information about automatic translation
2.3 Information about software in Catalan
3. Specialized
vocabularies
4. Information
about models of administrative documents, payslips, etc.
5. Information
about odd enquiries and specific terminology
6. Information
about individual advice to draft models of documents for the company
7. Models of
language tests in Catalan for personnel selection process
8. Design of
linguistic training programmes
9. Tailor-made
design of normalization or linguistic management plans
Those
companies showing a greater interest about linguistic services were given all the
information needed by means of interviews or by postal mail.
We
would like to point out one the one hand some services available
to the companies at the Centres of Linguistic Normalization, and
on the other one a catalogue of on-line resources which completes
that which was already published in the article "Usos, actituds
i serveis lingüístics a les empreses d'assegurances", Noves
SL, Spring 2002 <http://www.gencat/llengua/noves>.
