Show Notes

Join host Tucker Johnson, Lingoport’s Adam Asnes and Olivier Libouban as they explore innovative approaches to software localization that bridge the gap between design and development. Traditional localization methods often overlook the design phase, but by integrating localization early and automating file handling for developers, we can achieve agile localization as a service.

In this livestream, they will discuss the importance of context support for LLMs and introduce an optional secondary review cycle, enabling always-on localization for software strings. This session is inspired by insights from Nimdzi's software localization report and a LinkedIn live presentation, which highlighted missed opportunities in leveraging design tools like FIGMA.

The focus will be on the urgent need for speed in localization processes, as teams face pressure to align more closely with development activities rather than relying on outdated waterfall methods. Adam and Olivier will also address misconceptions about LLM translation, emphasizing that the brief nature of software strings should not limit the potential for effective localization.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn about cutting-edge techniques and research that can transform your localization strategy!
