Story Transcript:
Hr: Na sredi zagrebačkog Tech Trga, zima se uvukla u kosti posjetitelja, ali uzbuđenje ih je grijalo.
En: In the middle of Zagreb's Tech Trg, winter crept into the bones of the visitors, but excitement kept them warm.
Hr: Snijeg je nežno padao na blještave lampice koje su krasile štandove.
En: Snow gently fell on the bright lights adorning the booths.
Hr: Bilo je to vrijeme Godišnjeg festivala tehnike.
En: It was the time of the Annual Festival of Technology.
Hr: Uz slavlje Svetog Nikole, trg je postao centar inovacija i mašte.
En: Alongside the celebration of St. Nikola, the square became a center of innovation and imagination.
Hr: Ivan je stajao na rubu trga, držeći svoj pametni telefon.
En: Ivan stood on the edge of the square, holding his smartphone.
Hr: Njegova nova aplikacija mogla je promijeniti način na koji ljudi komuniciraju.
En: His new application could change the way people communicate.
Hr: Ali samopouzdanje?
En: But confidence?

Hr: Kad je primijetila Ivana, zastala je.
En: When she noticed Ivan, she stopped.
Hr: "Hej, Ivane!
En: "Hey, Ivan!
Hr: Svi pričaju o tvojoj aplikaciji", rekla je ohrabrujuće.
