Companies offering digital services can often double or triple their revenue by adapting their products for users who speak other languages. We enable companies to expand into new regions and languages using best-in-class technology and vendors to do so with speed, quality and economy.
We offer localization program management as a turnkey service, providing you with access to the best technology and talent in the translation and localization industry. The company was founded by Brian McConnell, a localization and startup veteran who built out the localization and internationalization teams at Notion, Lyft, Medium and a number of other startups (see Case Studies and our Knowledge Base for engineering, product and go to market teams).
Have you been put in charge of launching new languages? We can make you a hero.
How can we help you?
- We source translation and content management technology providers that are best suited to your industry and use case.
- We source AI translation services, language service providers and freelancers that are tailored to your industry and target regions.
- We provide day-to-day operational support, allowing clients to assign a relatively junior person to the project internally while de-risking the program at the same time.
- We train EPD (engineering, product and design) staff on translation, localization and internationalization best practices, continuous localization tooling, and more.
- We collaborate with product teams to explore what additional types of region-specific or multi-lingual functionality make sense for your product or service.
- We work with senior management to develop go-to-market strategies and international expansion plans.
- You retain ownership of your relationships with language technology and service providers, enabling you to bring the program in-house as you grow, if desired.
Benefits
- Reduced Costs : Staffing spend is often one third the cost of hiring in house.
- More Efficient : Most small and mid-sized companies don’t need a full-time program manager, but they do need subject matter expertise.
- Less Risk : Avoid common mistakes that companies that are new to localization often make.
- Faster Time To Market : Launch your products in new markets faster and avoid opportunity costs.
- Get Things Right From The Beginning : We focus on process automation and tooling so you can scale to whatever number of languages and regions are right for your business.
- Flexibility : Clients own their relationships with vendors and technology providers and can bring the program in house if needed.
We provide these services for a monthly fee which is a fraction of the cost of hiring a full-time manager or team. We also provide early stage consultation to small companies that are not yet ready to launch new languages, but want to be prepared to and avoid common mistakes newcomers often make.
