WLUK & IE: Bridging the gap between language and technology

The global content explosion and digital transformation has brought new challenges to companies who are looking to globalise their presence: localisation experts, product and engineering teams are learning to collaborate very closely to achieve scalable localisation solutions and programmes. When the language and technology worlds collide, a knowledge and communication gap emerges that is often difficult to navigate for all involved.

Where are the main challenges and what can translators, project managers, localisation managers and engineers do to bridge this gap?

This event will discuss all these topics and more with our expert panel.

Don’t miss this Easter gift from W.L. UK and IE!
