Transforming i18n and String Translation with Automation in Global Enterprises

Translating user interfaces (UI) for software raises difficulties that no other content does. Additionally, there is often a lack of understanding of how to best communicate and manage localization with software teams, as localization professionals are at a technical disadvantage in working with developers.

You will get a quick overview of practical issues that impact proper string management for software: from design to development, file format issues, management, translation, and deployment. This webinar will feature real life experiences, going from embedded UI elements to fully globalized UIs with ongoing releases.

In this webinar, we will talk to Lucio Guiterrez, a Senior Engineering Manager of Globalization and Localization at Workday.

Lucio Gutierrez has played a pivotal role in building and leading top-notch engineering teams in the Globalization and Localization department at Workday. He worked closely with different teams for more than three years to improve platform capabilities, making sure the software meets the needs of customers around the world.
