I'm thrilled to announce this Thursday I'll be doing a webinar with Eustachy The topic? International expansion and localization. At LogMeIn and Workable, I was tasked with expanding into new markets. On this Webinar, we'll walk through: ✅ When is the right time to expand ✅ How to identify opportunities to expand ✅ What channels to test ✅ How to balance marketing, sales and product as you expand The challenges I've had in the past are with knowing what comes first, product localization, sales presence or marketing presence.

How we re-did a project a day before the deadline🤐 "This is a case about my fuck-up and the importance of always doubting everything!" — one of our project managers said about this project. But let's start at the beginning. We received a large gaming localisation project, 7,000+ words into 8 languages. The customer was a long-standing client of ours. They give us rather specific instructions for every project, and our native speakers do not always adhere to those. That is why we follow the work process closely. This time the customer's request included the following: "These and similar words and phrases — Daily Tournament, "Sports" section, Daily Lottery etc. — should be present in the translation." Our PM understood the instruction to mean that these words must NOT be translated from English and decided not to bother the customer with "stupid" questions. Then the day before the deadline came... All the files were already checked and prepared for delivery. And the customers sent us another project saying: "Translate the same words: Daily Tournament, "Sports" section, Daily Lottery (as in the previous project)." "I was shocked!" — the project manager says. It turned out that these words should have been translated, and we misunderstood the customer and failed to clarify the issue we had doubts about. "Surely, I promptly wrote to all the native speakers, we made all the necessary changes and delivered the correct variant... The project was huge, the customer paid a lot of money for it, and it was a great responsibility," — the PM said. As a result, the customer received the correct translation in time. And we received another reminder that clarifying the details with the customers and understanding the instructions correctly is always better than guessing and rectifying the mistake a few hours before the deadline. #localization #localicaio

Have you checked out our latest real-time localization preview in the Adapty Paywall Builder? By selecting localizations in the dashboard of the Paywall Builder, you’ll get to a new area where you can add multiple locales for your future paywall. Each locale is broken down into text strings for different paywall elements, which makes the localization process much easier and transparent. With the ability to preview translations directly on the paywall mockup, you're in full control of how your content appears across different markets. We've also made updating product info faster with tag variables. Tag variables use store-sourced data to automatically localize your texts, ensuring titles and prices are always accurate. 👉 Here's everything you need to know: https://lnkd.in/dxhCnyVu

I'm against free localization tests, especially if they're more than 200 words. But LocJam Translation Marathon is definitely a nice thing for those of you who have just landed in localization, as it gives you an insight into what a localization test looks like and what clients or agencies expect from it. So if you are interested and have some time, here is the link to give it a try.
