The in-country review process is one of the most difficult steps to manage in translation and localization projects. This step is where misunderstanding, disputes, and even complete loss of communication can happen, leading to delayed deadlines, compromised quality, higher costs, frustrated project team members and dissatisfied customers. This session will provide some useful tips that you can put to practical use immediately. The speaker will give you some real-life examples from some of the Japanese projects he has managed.

Aki Ito is Director of Operations for TOIN Corporation and owner of LocalizationGuy, LLC. A TAUS representative and a past board member of GALA and Multilingual Magazine, he has been in the translation and localization industry since 1996, working in sales management, operations management, project management, Japanese language management and consulting, and translation memory tool management, and even as the Japanese interpreter for a Major League Baseball team. He holds an MBA in international marketing and a BA in international relations.
