WLPT - LOCALIZAÇÃO: DA FORMAÇÃO AO MERCADO
2026-05-13 14:00 - 18:00 UTC
Em parceria com a Faculdade de Ciências Humanas e Sociais (FCHS) da Universidade do Algarve, o Portugal Chapter da Women in Localization promove o evento Localização: da formação ao mercado, dirigido a quem pretende conhecer melhor a área da localização e perceber de que forma esta pode representar um caminho profissional.

Ao longo da tarde, os participantes terão a oportunidade de explorar diferentes perspetivas sobre o setor, ficar a conhecer melhor algumas das saídas profissionais possíveis, refletir sobre as competências mais valorizadas e conversar sobre o papel da formação complementar na construção de um percurso nesta área.

Haverá também espaço para uma conversa com profissionais, onde será possível colocar questões, ouvir experiências e falar sobre entrada no mercado e evolução profissional.

Na segunda parte do evento, passamos da conversa à prática com um workshop baseado num cenário simulado de localização. A partir de materiais como um email do cliente, briefing, glossário e guia de estilo, os participantes serão convidados a trabalhar em grupo, analisar o contexto, discutir opções e refletir sobre algumas das decisões que fazem parte de projetos reais.

Este evento pretende aproximar os participantes da prática profissional e dar uma visão mais concreta, aplicada e realista do que esta área pode envolver.

About this event
Language has always shaped the way we see the world. Today, in a context where DEI commitments are being challenged and corporate policies are shifting, the question of inclusive and accessible language is more urgent than ever.
This third and final panel brings together practitioners and experts from across the French, Italian, German, and Spanish-speaking localization communities for a cross-chapter fireside chat. Together, they will explore what inclusive language really means in practice: how it is defined, implemented, and defended inside organizations, and what role localization professionals can play in keeping the conversation alive.
From corporate commitments to bottom-up advocacy, from terminology governance to user impact, this session addresses the hard questions that language professionals, content strategists, and localization managers face when inclusivity meets organizational reality.
Join us to hear from practitioners who are doing the work, not just talking about it.

Program
45 minutes of discussion and exchange structured around two core themes:
Inclusive Terminology and Corporate Commitments
Is inclusivity the same as accessibility? How are leading organizations approaching inclusive language today, and is it a core business matter? What does the landscape look like across Germany, Italy, and beyond, and how does inclusive language translate into measurable user engagement?
Language as a Driver of Change
What is the role of language in building more inclusive communities? How do localization and content professionals advocate for change from within, navigate pushback, and bring leadership teams along? And what can we collectively do to move the discourse forward?

The session closes with an interactive Q&A.

Free and open to all | Session conducted in English

This is the third and last event in a three-part series:

Event 1: Terminology Research Today
Event 2: Terminology: Technology and Enterprise Voice
Event 3: Language Shapes Reality – A Cross-Chapter Fireside Chat on Accessibility and Inclusivity
