Joel Sahleen
In this two-part, interactive workshop, we’ll explore the processes of internationalization (Part I) and localization (Part II) in a continuous, data-driven, software as a service context. The goal of the workshop is to help translators understand how their work fits into the software internationalization and localization lifecycle and demonstrate a few tricks of the trade that will allow them to produce more accurate and effective translations of software application text. By the end of the workshop, attendees should have the knowledge and skills they need to work on software translation projects.
