Description

Localization News is here to report on: Why are some MT engines sexist • A recent translation mistake from IKEA... or was it a mistake? • How culture and context matter for translation.

We also talked about the DTP process, swear words, and personalities. Totally in the context of localization :)

Localization news was brought to you by Vera Richards (Akorbi), Ilan Bloch (Baguette), and me (Andrej Zito). Casual and authentic chat with little to no editing.
