Managing translations at scale comes with numerous challenges — handling multiple file types, repositories, aggressive timelines, and cross-functional teams. Like most companies the presenters also rely on an off-the-shelf translation management systems (TMS), but they have built and customized their own homegrown tooling to meet their unique needs, integrated with their TMS. This session will walk you through how their custom-built solutions work with internal repositories and the TMS to automate workflows, isolate tagging within translated segments, and enable higher-quality translations. They will also showcase how this tooling has helped them address common industry challenges while significantly improving efficiency.

Key Takeaways:

Benefits of building custom tooling within your ecosystem to reduce manual tasks; handling multiple file types and repositories along with isolating tagged segments for improved translations efficiencies; benefits of having a dedicated Globalization engineering team
