Everyone creates content today at work - whether as part of marketing a product or service, documenting a product or singing its praises on social media, or helping consumers and business partners post-sales. And today, we have to assume that all of that content is likely to be translated - either explicitly, for example because your company has a language strategy and localizes all marketing content for a set of languages or delivers products in multiple countries, or indirectly, because a cust...

Countries and states are in a state of flux right now. Some are in the process of easing COVID-19-related restrictions while others are in the process of reintroducing them. Continued disruption to economic activity and planning has created challenging conditions for LSPs, particularly for interpreting-centric companies.

With most conferences going virtual, organizations must spoil their audiences to ensure delegates who had anticipated a trip to a fancy location don’t end up disappointed. Offering broad language support is a clear way of creating a wow factor, especially when little if any interpreting was offered at in-person events. This session explores the automated delivery of captions for accessibility and subtitles or interpreting for language access. Worldy.ai is letting us use their product during thi...

In this webinar, CSA Research analysts Alison Toon, Arle Lommel, and Rebecca Ray will discuss strategies to defend localization budgets, push back against ill-conceived plans to slash language support, and promote an expanded role of localization during these challeng...

Moving events online can have one particularly positive outcome: It becomes easier to provide sign language or captioning for deaf, deafened, or hard of hearing persons as well as for individuals who are not native speakers of English. For example, your Chinese or German attendees may love to be able to follow along with on-screen text in English in case they miss some nuances. Our analyst will explain captioning performed by professionals either in real-time or offline. We’ll also discuss sign...
