While the focus of the MIIS Translation and Localization Management program is to help businesses and organizations expand globally, it was nice to take a break and discuss how we fit into the local community. Watch the video embedded above or directly on YouTube.
In this discussion, we’ll look at how globalization is driving demand for translations and how businesses can maintain high-quality translations while staying within their budget. We’ll also talk about current challenges of building on the skills and abilities needed for keeping up with today’s technologies. Watch the video embedded above or directly on YouTube.

With a number of content management systems options available to companies, 60% of websites around the world are hosted on WordPress. Localizing multilingual content on WordPress sites has never been easier with the integration of continuous localization tools. Marketers and developers have several options available to them, including proxy solutions or getting your hands dirty with plugins and directly integrating via API.
