Localization professionals can learn many important tactics on the job. This talk, however, will cover a number of localization best practices that you are unlikely to learn on the job, but that are key to improving product quality and reducing time-to-market.

These advanced techniques, used by industry leaders at companies like Adobe and Salesforce.com, are at the core of the Masters in Translation and Localization Management offered at the Monterey Institute of International Studies (MIIS), and these best practices relating to the management of linguistic resources and workflow planning should be part of every company's standard procedures.

Join us for an informative discussion on localization tools and processes, and meet some of the professors and students from MIIS.

Uwe Muegge is Director and Tools Strategist at CSOFT, and Program Chair, Translation & Localization Management at MIIS.
