Blockchain, Crypto, and Localization

Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies: What's it all about? For those of us in language services, these are areas with plenty of new concepts to wrap one's head around. What's real? What's hype? Why should we know about it? In this show, we'll be taking a look at Blockchain from the perspective of the translation industry, including linguistic aspects as well as possible impacts on the profession. 

Today is a treat because we are recording this episode live during APAC time-zones instead of the typical USA-centric scheduling. Joining us are Lucrecia Jarab, COO of Translation Back Office based in Ho Chi Minh City, Scott Jackson, Language Specialist for Translation Backoffice from Cordoba, and Yoko Chiba, COO of CRESTEC who is based in Tokyo.
