Software localization is stuck in an archaic paradigm built in the '90s, based on resource files that live with the code. Ask any modern developer if they'd build something similar today and they'd say you're out of your mind. The model simply breaks down even with minimal levels of today's automation.

In this discussion titled "Reimagining Software Localization", we will go through the research Dimitris did with the team at Transifex on what modern software developers dream their content and localization management technology looked like, and then take a sneak peek into how the team is re-writing the stack and playbook of software localization.

About the speaker:

Dimitris Glezos is the founder and CEO of Transifex, a next-generation Global Content Repository software company. Transifex builds modern, automation-centric, innovative products that target today’s fastest-growing teams, with customers such as Quora, Eventbrite, HubSpot, Asana, Atlassian, and Viber.

Dimitris developed the first version of Transifex as an open-source product for the Linux community. In his spare time, you’ll find him rock climbing, windsurfing, or rather baking and playing board games in today’s pandemic times.
