LocWorld54 Monterey

AI 2.0, the next generation of artificial intelligence, embodies a paradigm shift from traditional, narrow AI systems to more intelligent, adaptable, and human-centric AI technologies. This means greater autonomy in global content generalization, real-time reasoning, deeper integration with localization practices, in addition to a focus on safety, ethics, and alignment with human intentions. While experimenting with innovative ideas and methodologies, AI is a game-changer when it comes to productivity. It is important to note that this shift will also require collaboration and consideration from multiple angles.

What Localization Teams Know Now: Lessons from AI Deployments at the Enterprise

This session requires a minimum of 10, maximum of 25 participants

Event description: Discover the full potential of your terminology

For you as a localization professional, the need for terminology has always been clear. However, it is also clear that in order to truly work in a corporate setting, terminology is not an afterthought but has to be visible and managed company-wide. Fortunately, the advent of Generative AI and LLMs have made the challenges to operate without terminology much more apparent, even to non-linguists.

In this year´s TermClub Round Table we want to discuss the business model of terminology. How can we shift the notion of terminology away from single-purpose glossary management in localization to repurposable (“FAIR”) terminology data management which can serve many areas in a company? How can we make terminology attractive to other stakeholders and departments, particularly the AI team? And how can we stay relevant or even elevate our position as the “language experts”?

The format of a Round Table allows us to get different inputs from different people at different phases in the journey towards terminology. The goal is to establish some best practices, business cases guidelines, but also insights into how to “rethink” terminology on a corporate level.

Topics to be discussed:

• What are the benefits of terminology beyond glossaries for localization?
• Who in a company can we address as possible sponsors?
• How do we create a terminology business model?
• What do we need to consider in our terminology approach?
• In particular, how can we address our corporate AI team?

By joining this round table, you will:

• Get practical input into corporate terminology management
• Benefit from the experience of others in the same situation
• Start working on a first business model for your terminology
• Develop ideas how to make a real impact in your business
• Make sure you stay relevant as a corporate language expert

This round table is for:

• Language divisions who want to elevate their standing and drive business excellence through language
• Localization team members who see the potential of terminology but cannot get buy-in
• Terminology enthusiasts who want to have more impact in their company
• AI enthusiasts who have discovered the importance of terminology in their applications
• Language technology

Refreshments are included. Cost $350 USD

This session refreshments, but lunch is not included with this session.

Have you wondered how to convince your management that your globalization or localization function contributes strategic value to the company? Maybe you’re a localization manager on the buyer side, executing more and more productively as you adopt better tools and processes. But still, you’re seen as a mere service in your organization, rather than as a strategic partner? How can you change that perception? Well, there’s a (free) book on the subject, written by a group of successful industry managers, directors, and vice presidents who have met and overcome this challenge.

We are offering a workshop with several of the authors to discuss key topics from the book.

• What does it mean to adopt a strategic approach to localization?
• We’re all supposed to be data driven now. But what data? How to get it? How to analyze it and develop appropriate plans?
• Technology continues to evolve at what sometimes seems an alarming pace. You may need a structure to help you evaluate the many possibilities.
• We have multiple stakeholders at different levels of importance and influence. How should we categorize and act on those relationships?

Attendees from both the buyer and provider sides of the industry are welcome, since the lessons from the playbook are relevant to anyone managing the many facets of localization.

One of the authors will outline a case study from the book and launch a general discussion based on specific, related questions, enlivened by the experience of the group. We plan to touch on three or four of the chapters in the book in this workshop.
