Title: Better keywording in Swedish?
Post by: roede-orm on February 22, 2015, 02:30
When I look at the sales at Mostphotos I see almost only sold pictures with Swedish keywords. What do you thoink, it's better to change from English to Swedish? Does anyone here from Scandinavia have experiences or observed a relation between the language of keywords and sales?

Ich kann mir vorstellen das der Aufwand zu gross ist. Schau dich mal um wie andere, sagen wir mal grosse Anbieter verschlagworten

Ich folge einer ganzen Anzahl von Fotografen auf MP, die meisten kommen aus Schweden,. Und von diesen erzielen jene die meisten Verkäufe, die auf Schwedisch verschlagworten. Das kann man nach dem Facelift von MP ganz gut verfolgen. Der Aufwand wäre auch nicht viel größer, als auf Deutsch verschlagworten, wie ich das bei den meisten deutschen Agenturen ja auch mache. Vielleicht teste ich das mal mit den hundert nächsten Fotos. Ich berichte dann hier in 6 Monaten oder so. LG, röde-orm

But can you simply mix Swedish and English keywords?

And, please don't laugh, but i simply cannot figure out how i get my images from unpublished to published... I cannot find a button to press! And the irony is that i somehow did it some time back as i have images uploaded, but now i just can't find a way. Would appreciate if anyone can help (ursakta att jag kapar traden lite grann!!)

You can, but all words will be treated as the language you uploaded them in, so it is probably not a good idea. But if you upload keywords in one language, it is probably good to write names of cities etc in Swedish

If you use easy upload there is a publish button for each image, where you add the keywords etc. If you have many images to publish, you can reach a button for that via notifications - go to mediacloud - then if you look in the upper left corner you may publish all images that are ready to be published.
