The process of converting text or speech from the English language into the Ilocano language is a linguistic operation involving substitution of lexical items and grammatical structures to convey equivalent meaning. As an illustration, the English phrase “Good morning” would be rendered as “Naimbag nga bigat” in Ilocano.
Such linguistic conversion facilitates communication and understanding between individuals who speak English and those who speak Ilocano. It is particularly important in contexts where intercultural exchange, business transactions, or access to information requires bridging the language gap. Historically, the need for this conversion has grown alongside increased globalization and migration patterns, making it a valuable skill and service.
