This post is part of a series on the value proposition of localization strategies.
A successful strategy requires more than having the right tools and processes in place. They need to be measured and governed.

Content internationalization (it’s not just for software)
This post is part of a series on the value proposition of localization strategies.
When people think of internationalization (IF they think of it), software labels often come to mind—buttons, menus, and other user interface text. But content development can benefit from it as well.
Terminology in localization: it’s not just for word nerds
This post is part of a series on the value proposition of localization strategies.
Accuracy and accelerated time to market are key success factors in every localization project. Proper terminology management contributes to both of these factors.
Own your translation memory
This post is part of a series on the value proposition of localization strategies.
The source content you develop is your intellectual property. The translation of that source content is also your intellectual property, regardless of who performs the translation.
Localization strategy: improving time to market
This post is part of a series on the value proposition of localization strategies.
You can make localization “better” by taking a look at localization value. Quality and cost are important value factors, but improved time to market returns the greatest value.
Improving time to market for localized products and content is no easy task. It’s not as simple as adding more translators to the effort; that may cause more problems (and more delays). Improving time to market involves moving localization up the project chain, and to do so effectively requires a localization strategy.
Making localization “better”
This post is the first in a series about the value proposition of localization strategies. You can also see a presentation on this topic at LavaCon this October.
Localization issues are a primary reason companies seek help with a new content strategy. One of the most common questions we hear is, “How do we make our localization process better?”
When we’re asked this question, we turn the question around. What is wrong with your current localization process? What would you like to improve? How do you define “better?”
