G Locals or Glocals?

Hello everyone!

This past weekend we had a debate but we couldn't agree on a common answer:

Should we pronounce: "G Locals" like Geneva Locals or "Glocals" like a mix of Global and Local ?

Thanks for your inputs!

The logo is split between glo and cals and not G and locals - so I think it's more the 2nd option. Also glocals isn't just for Geneva! However, it's true that both are being used.

200 years ago when "Geneva online" needed a new name Nir and Oded decided to do a survey for a news name.


Unfortunately my suggestion (Swiss connection) was not chosen but they came up with "glocals" which stands for glocals+locals. A new name and vision was born which allowed to open up communities all over Switzerland.Laughing

Romain - It sounds like we were right! It should definitely be pronounced "Glocals"

Glocalization means a case in which a global product is altered in some manner in order to meet the needs of or appeal to local consumers.

Global Locals is certainly a good combination to 'Glocals' as it is very appropriate to the Multi national community in glocals.


But still It funny or chance that Geneva on line still is considered by many.


It might been more accepted to be called International Locals? or Internations, ehehheheehe

It depends.


If I am speaking in English, I use "G Locals" as it sounds natural in that language and easy to be understood in that language.


If I am speaking in Spanish, I use "Glocals" because of the same reasons.


At the end of the day, language is a tool of social communication and I always try to focus mainly on that.
