Serge: A Free, Open Source Platform for Continuous Localization from Evernote

Networking 6:30-7:00 PM, and after the talk as time allows.
No webcast/livestream, but our hosts will try to record this.

Evernote is being translated into more than 26 languages, and although we have a very agile development process, we still manage to provide translations on time and ship Evernote releases simultaneously in multiple languages.

How do we do that? The answer is continuous localization. It is a fully automated way of dealing with localization, and it revolutionizes the localization process the same way automatic build integration and automated QA revolutionizes software development.

We recently open-sourced our continuous localization platform (it is called Serge, see https://serge.io/ ). In this talk, we will describe what Serge is about, how it is used at our company, and give you ideas on how you can use it for your own purposes.
