Show Notes

“Impressed by the level of inadequacy shared around the world these days, we have taken it upon ourselves to make our very own collection of myths and beliefs about the translation and localization industry.” - Nimdzi Insights
The Language Industry Conspiracy Chart, first published by Nimdzi Insights in 2022, is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek look at some of the commonly held beliefs/misconceptions in the language industry and attempts to categorize them based on their distance from reality.

Needless to say, such a publication was not without controversy. Thankfully, our guest today, Adam Asnes, has never been afraid of ruffling a few feathers.

Join Tucker and Adam as we discuss some of our favorite (and most despised) “conspiracy theories” in the language services industry, and how we would recommend typically responding when you hear them.
