Mekon’s Alberto Ferreira presents:
- Wednesday 09:00 & 13:30: (Re)mixing Workflows: Localization Processes Forum The complexity of contemporary localization project management is increasing, demanding smarter and more versatile approaches that can adapt to teams and tools seamlessly. Localization plays a key role in the delicate mix of product and service delivery for global markets across multiple channels and languages. Packed with information, case studies and world-class experts, this forum will bring together experts and knowledgeable audiences for the hard talk on the challenges and trends behind the integration of localization as a first-tier requirement in both cutting-edge environments and in more traditional processes and technologies. Bring your own experience in agile and waterfall methodologies to the forum and discuss the future of localization services with some of the industry’s leading experts.
- Friday 09:00: Can You Have Your Cake and Eat It? Agile Localization with QualityAs localization gets faster, what happens to quality? Across the localization industry, the demand for faster turnaround times has made traditional localization approaches obsolete. As processes are simplified and streamlined, the impact of agile localization on quality is a cause for concern right across the supply chain. However, it doesn’t have to be this way, agile and quality can peaceably coexist when planned correctly. At Microsoft, Windows Services transitioned from a traditional localization model to continuous, rapid localization of 105 languages. This case study will highlight best practices and takeaways for adopting a quality-first approach to agile localization.
