1 | Ecuador: An Interview with Winner of Best Latin American Blog | Ekoatera: Resadresaka miaraka amin'ny mpandresy tamin'ny blaogy Amerikanina Latina tsara indrindra |
2 | Even though he was unable to travel to Spain [es] to receive the prize for “Best Latin American Blog” in the contest [es] sponsored by the Spanish newspaper 20 Minutos, Carlos Suasnavas is humbled by the recognition and dedicates it to his readers. | Na dia tsy afaka nandeha tany Espana[es] mba hahazo ny loka (prize) amin'ny “Blaogy Latina Amerikanina tsara indrindra” tao anatin'ny fifaninanana[es] notohanan'ny mpampahalala vaovao Espaniola 20 Minutos aza, Carlos Suasnavas dia nahazo voninahitra tamin'ilay mari-pahatsiarovana ary nanolotra izany kosa ho an'ireo mpamaky azy. |
3 | The blog, which he co-writes with Evan from Argentina, is called Sentando Frente Al Mundo [es] (Sitting in Front of the World) and was chosen by a jury and by other bloggers. | Ny blaogy, izay iarahany manoratra amin'i Evan any Argentina, izay antsoina hoe Sentando Frente Al Mundo [es] (mipetraka manoloana ny tany (in Front of the World)) ary nofidin'ny mpitsara sy ireo mpitoraka blaogy hafa. |
4 | In this interview from his hometown of Quito, he shares a little about his reasons for having a blog in the first place and about why he believes he may have more readers outside of Ecuador. | Ao anatin'ity fanadihadiana ity izay natao tany aminy tany Quito ity, asehony ireo antony nanosika azy ireo hamorona blaogy ary manazava amintsika hoe fa maninona no ny teratany vahiny no maro noho ny Ekoatorianina amin'ireo mpamaky. |

7 | Milton Ramirez: Who is Carlos Suasnavas? | Milton Ramirez: Iza moa I Carlos Suasnavas? |
8 | Carlos Suasnavas: Carlos Suasnavas is a 37-year-old Ecuadorian, who loves a good book, classic literature, science in general and who tries to share something on his blog that he has read, learned or has impacted him deeply. | Carlos Suasnavas: Carlos Suasnavas dia 37 taona, Ekoatorianina, tia mamaky ireny boky tsara ireny, literatiora klasika [classic], siansa amin'ny ankapobeny ary miezaka haneho ao anatin'ny blaoginy ny zavatra izay novakiany, henony ary izay zavatra nahaliana azy fatratra. |
9 | He's also a businessman, aware of the economic situation of his country, the welfare of their workers and customer satisfaction. | Izy koa dia mpandraharaha, izay liana amin'ny momba ny toekaren'ny taniny, amin'ny hasambaran'ireo mpiasany sy manome fahafaham-po ny mpanjifany. |
10 | MR: Your blog is summarized in the expression “Sitting in Front of the World” What does that mean for you? | MR: Ny blaoginao dia nofintinina tao amin'ny “mipetraka manoloana ny tany ” inona no dikan'izany aminao? |
11 | CS: It means that you and I or anyone else are lucky enough to be able to sit in front of the window of the internet which gives us the knowledge of cultures, customs, stories, lifestyles and attractions of this small blue planet. | CS: Ny dikany dia izaho sy ianao na ny olona hafa koa dia manana tombon-dahiny afaka mipetraka manoloana ny varavarankelin'ny aterineto izay manome antsika fahalalana momba ny kolontsaina, ny ny fomba amam-panao samihafa, ny tantara, ny fomba fiaina sy ny zavatra manintona amin'ity planeta manga ity. |
12 | Personally, I feel privileged to be born in this era where we have this wonderful window to the world on our desk. | Raha izao manokana, mahatsapa ny tenako fa tena niangarana raha teraka amin'ity vanim-potoana ity izay ananantsika eo ambony latabatry ny biraontsika io varavarankely mahafinaritra io izay ahatsinjovantsika izao tontolo izao. |
13 | Yet I cannot understand that there are people who only come to look for pornography or celebrity gossip when you have at your disposal the ONLY tool that brings to your home virtually all human history, art, science, technology, politics, as well as your planet, its geography, animals and a thousand other things to your home. | Tsy azoko mihitsy hoe maninona no misy olona dia ny hijery ireny zavatra vetaveta [pornographie] sy ireny vaovao people ireny no iazakazahany, nefa ianao manana eo an-tananao ilay HANY fitaovana iray mitondra ao an-tokantranonao amin'ny fomba virtoaly ny tantaran'ny zanak'olombelona, ny zavakantony, ny siansa, ny haitao, ny pôlitika, toy ny hoe ny planeta iray manontolo mihitsy, ny haibolantaniny, ny biby ary ny zavatra maro an'arivony ao amin'ny taninao. |
14 | Sometimes we do not consider how fortunate we are to have any information from anywhere in the world just a click away. | Matetika isika no tsy mahatsapa akory ny fiangaran'ny vintana atsika hahazo izay fahalalana rehetra avy any lavitra any eran'izao tontolo izao amin'ny alalan'ny tsindry bokotra iray monja. |
15 | My blog's name, Sentado frente al mundo, encompasses the whole idea. | Ny anaran'ny blaogiko, Sentado frente al mundo, dia mahafaoka izany rehetra izany. |
16 | MR: What do you think about Ecuadorian blogosphere and as habitual reader, which would be your favorites? | MR: Inona no eritreritretinao momba ny tontolon'ny blaogy Ekoatorianina ary amin'ny maha mpamaky blaogy, iza no tianao indrindra? |
17 | CS: Regarding Ecuadorian blogs, as in everywhere, you have high quality blogs, but also from the others. | CS: Raha ny momba ny blaogy Ekoatoranianina, toy ny any rehetra any, dia manana blaogy tsara voatra ianao, nefa misy koa ny an'ny hafa. |
18 | It is that there are still bloggers who think the rest of us are interested to know about their private, emotional, or sexual life, but since a blog is free they can do it and there are no rules to follow, therefore you also find a lot of garbage out there. | Misy ny mpitoraka blaogy sasany no mihevitra fa ny mahaliana antsika dia ny fiainany, ny fihetsem-pony, ary ny fiainany ny firaisana ara-nofony, nefa hatramin'ny nampahalalaka ny fitorahana blaogy, afaka manao izany ry zareo ary tsy misy lalàna manokana arahana izany, izany no antony ahitànao hadalàna maro ihany koa ao anatiny. |
19 | And since blogs are global, you also have readers for everything too. | Ary nanomboka tamin'ny nampivelatra be ny blaogy, dia manana mpamaky momba ny zavatra rehetra foana ianao. |
20 | On my Bloglines account I check the good classic Ecuadorian blogs, that remain since I started and learned from them, such as CeroCuatro [es], Aura Neurotica [es], La Gaby [es], Atrapasueños [es], Ecuador Ciencia [es], Tecnodatum [es], Sueños y Cuentos [es], and El Apestado [es] | Ao amin'ny rohy fanarahako maso ny blaogiko dia mahita blaogy Ekatoriana tsara mihitsy aho, izay tao hatramin'ny nanombohako ary avy amin'ireny no nahalalako, ohatra an'i CeroCuatro [es], Aura Neurotica [es], La Gaby [es], Atrapasueños [es], Ecuador Ciencia [es], Tecnodatum [es], Sueños y Cuentos [es], ary El Apestado [es] |
21 | MR: In an recent video interview you said that people blog to unburden themselves. | MR: Ao anatina ampahantsary fanadihadiana ianao dia namboraka fa ny olona dia mitoraka blaogy mba ho “fanalàna azy” [rehefa reraka]. |
22 | Do you have a favorite post in which you unburdened yourself and why? | Ianao ve manana hafatra tiana manokana izay netinao “nanalàna azy” ary nahoana? |
23 | CS: As you all know, my blog had been in an evolutionary process, from being a personal blog to what it is today. | CS: Araka ny efa fantatrao, ny blaogiko dia nivoatra, niala tamin'ny naha-blaogy ahy manokana azy ho amin'ny toerana misy azy ankehitriny. |
24 | In the midst of that process, several posts remain from the romantic stage and which I recall with great affection such as “Angels and Demons‘ which was a very simple text about a woman who was very important in my life, but I liked that text very much and which I have seen copied on many blogs, some provided the source, others didn't (which is not something that really interests me), I have seen it in personal spaces, forums, and once someone showed me a photoshopped picture with the text as a postcard. | Aanatin'izay fivoarana izay, dia misy ireo hafatra karazana romantika mijanona ary tadidiko fa feno fitiavana toa ny “Angels and Demons‘ ohatra izay lahatsoratra tsotra mikasika ny vehivahy iray izay tena nanana ny toerany manokana tamin'ny fiainako, tena tiako izay lahatsoratra izay ary hitako any amin'ny blaogy hafa, ny sasany dia mametraka ny loharano niaviany, ny hafa tsia (tsy dia raharahiko loatra). Hitako tany amina pejy manokana hafa tany, “forums” , ary indray andro dia nisy olona nampiseho ahy ilay lahatsoratra tanatina karazana karatra postaly natao niaraka tamin'ny photoshop. |
25 | Another curious thing was the e-mail I received containing a text of another post of mine called ‘Thrown Cards.' | Zavatra iray hafahafa koa satria nisy e-mail iray izay azoko ary niaraka tamin'ny lahatsoratra avy tamin'ny hafatro hafa,”Thrown Cards.' |
26 | These are things that once bothered me, but now I look back and I feel really proud. | Ireny rehetra ireny dia nahasosotra ahy tany am-boalohany, nefa ankehitriny dia tena tsapako ho mampirehareha ahy. |
27 | And like I said, those were other times and my motivation at that time also was different. | Ary araka izay efa noteneniko, dia fotoana hafa iny ary tamin'iny fotoana iny, ny hery nanentana ahy koa dia hafa. |
28 | I have always written to unburden myself, but I've tried to be as careful as to what to reveal from my personal life. | Nanoratra foana aho mba hanala ny sorisoriko, nefa nitandrina aho ny amin'izay mety ho famborahako ny fiainako manokana . |
29 | I've shown the world only what I wanted them to know about me. | Tsy namboraka tamin'ny olona afa-tsy izay tiako ho fantatr'izy ireo aho. |
30 | If one believes that because one has read my blog one completely knows Carlos Suasnavas, then one is wrong. | Raha misy iray mamaky ny blaogiko ka miteny hoe izaho mahalala tsara an'I Carlos Suasnavas, dia diso izy. |
31 | MR: How are Ecuadorian blogs contributing to conversation by citizens? | MR: Ahoana ny fomba fandraisan'anjaran'ny blaogy Ekoatorianina amin'ny adihevitry ny mpiara-belona? |
32 | Why do you think your posts are read mostly by foreigners rather than Ecuadorians. | Ahoana no ilazànao hoe ireo hafatrao dia ny vahiny no maro mamaky azy fa tsy ny Ekoatorianina? |
33 | CS: I do not believe such dialogue is being built because a blog by nature is biased. | CS: Tsy mino aho hoe nahavita lahatsoratra toy ‘ireny satria ara-boajanahary, ny blaogy manana firehana. |
34 | Beginning with the President, we complain about how printed press and television media is biased, what can we expect from a blog that is written by someone according to the reality in which they live? | Manomboka amin'ny Filoha, dia mba mitaraina koa izahay ny amin'ny fitongilanan'ny gazety an-tsoratra sy ny fahitalavitra, inona no andrandrainay amin'ny blaogy soratan'ny tompony miainga amin'ny tena marina niainany? |
35 | There are blogs for and against the government. | Misy ireo blaogy mpomba sy tsy mpomba ny governemanta. |
36 | So far I have not seen a single one which is fair. | Hatramin'izao dia mbola tsy nahita aho na dia iray aza tsy mitanila. |
37 | Until there is fairness, dialogue cannot exist. | Raha mbola tsy misy ny tsy fombana ny atsy sy ny aroa, tsy misy ny fifanakalozan-kevitra. |
38 | What takes place are debates in which everyone thinks he or she are the owners of the truth. | Ny mahazo vahana izao dia ny adihevitra iheveran'ny tsirairay, na lahy na vavy, fa ny azy no marina. |
39 | The fact that my blog has more foreign readers, I think it is due to two specific situations. | Ny mahatonga ny blaogiko ho ny vahiny no maro mamaky azy, dia noho ny antony roa. |
40 | First, thanks to the charisma that comes from my co-blogger, Evan, who is Argentinian and shares the same tastes in topics that we post. | Voalohany, noho ny “charme”-n'ilay mpiara-mitantana azy io amiko, Evan, izay tera-tany argentina ary mitovy fitiavan-javatra amiko amin'ny resaka izay ataonay any anatin'ny hafatra. |
41 | When I want to change or change gears on my blog as I did a year ago, she captured my ideas perfectly. | Raha nisaina hanova ny hafainganam-pandehan'ny blaogiko aho taona iray lasa izay, azony tsara ny hevitro. |
42 | The other reason may be that my blog there is no morbidity, politics or my personal life, topics that Ecuadorians enjoy to read. | Ny antony hafa kkoa ny tsy fisian'ny resaka fahafatesana, politika na koa ny fiainako manokana, izay zavatra tian'ny Ekoatorianina ny mamaky azy. |
43 | MR: How has the perception of the blogger/entrepreneur Carlos Suasnavas changed in the national media since you received your award as Best Latin American blog? | MR: Ahoana ny fiovam-pijerin'ny mpitoraka blaogy/mpandraharaha Carlos Suasnavas amin'ireo fampahalalam-baovao nasionaly nanomboka tamin'ny nahazoanao ny loka tamin'ny fifaninanana blaogy Amerikana-Latina tsara indrindra? |
44 | CS: It is a coincidence that I am an entrepreneur and blogger at the same time, and it was another happy coincidence that I won the Best Latin American Blog. | CS: Fifandrifin-javatra ny maha mpandraharaha sy mpitoraka blaogy ahy, ary ity dia mbola fifandrifin-javatra hafa koa ny nivoahako ho mpandresy tamin'ny fifaninanana blaogy Amerikanina-Latina tsara indrindra. |
45 | A high school or college student, a housewife or any office employee could have won it. | Ny mpianatra amin'ny lycée sy ny kolejy, ny vehivavy tsy miasa na mpiasa tsotra dia mety ho afaka nandresy. |
46 | It could also be won by a journalist, but this is the beauty of freedom of the Internet, you do not need to categorize yourself in only one activity or show your diploma to open your own blog. | Nety ho mpanao gazety koa no nandresy , saingy izay ny fahatsaràn'ny fahalalahan'ny aterineto, ianao dia tsy voafetra ho ao anatina sehatra iray monja na koa mampiseho ny diplaomanao mba hahafahanao manokatra blaogy manokana. |
47 | It is an activity where your diploma does not matter, it only matters if people like what you publish and they continue to read. | Ity dia sehatra tsy ilàna diplaoma, ny zavatra ilaina fotsiny dia ny hoe tian'ny mpamaky ny zavatra izay apoitranao ary manohy mamaky ry zareo. |
48 | I don't know if the media looks at me differently. | Tsy fantatro ny mpampahalàla vaovao na mijery ahy amin'ny fomba hafa. |
49 | I do know my friends don't. | Fantatro fa tsy manao toy izay ny fahitan'ireo namako. |
50 | Admittedly, this award has given me enough media coverture, some press interviews, but from there, it did not change anything. | Tsy azo lavina, iny fandresena iny dia nanome ahy nahatonga ahy ho fantatra be teo amin'ny sehatry ny fampahalalam-baovao, tamina fanadihadiana maro isan-karazany, nefa hatreto, tsy dia nanova zavatra iny. |
51 | The only thing that I appreciate is the increased traffic to my blog, that my blog is being read more and the pleasant satisfaction of knowing that it helped to increase a bit the general culture any reader. | Ny zavatra iray izay tiako fotsiny dia ny fitomboan'ny fitsidihana ao amin'ny blaogiko, ny fahitako fa be mpamaky ny blaogiko sy ny fahasambarana amin'ny fahalalako fa manampy ny mpamaky amin'ny fivoarana ara-kolontsaina izy io. |
