Les comparto un extracto:

Texto fuente:
La campaña fue diseñada a través de una consultoría, que generó un paquete de mensajes que fueron luego producidos con un mínimo de ajuste local. A criterio de comunicadores locales y aliados, esto pudo afectar su efectividad, al carecer del toque y contexto local que está comprobado tiene gran efectividad en los mensajes, tanto por la forma como por el lenguaje utilizado, sobre todo si se usa un **lenguaje de etnia local**.

Traducción:
The campaign was designed by a consulting firm that created a set of [radio] spots/messages, subsequently broadcasted with minimum adjustments [for the local audience]. At the discretion of the local communicators and allies, this issue could have impaired its effectiveness because it lacked a local touch and context, which are proved to be extremely effective when it comes to radio spots/messages, due to both the manner and the language used in the messages, particularly if a **local dialect** is used.
