Takeaways from the conversation
- Language barriers exist. Even if “everyone speaks English” in your business world, even though English is the lingua franca of our times, we do not all speak English at the same level, and assuming we do will land you in hot water at some point.
- The right localization strategy can catalyze growth and boost inclusion in your workforce, as well as reduce risk.
- You need subject-matter experts to provide translations, not bilingual people who may have little understanding of your content.
- AI is part of the equation for language services, and we can use it for low risk, low priority content.
