Localization World is the foremost networking organization in the world for
buyers, sellers and practitioners of globalization, localization and
translation services. The focus of this yearıs annual North American
Localization World conference is on ³Translation Technology.² The current
localization business model is too manual. Many corporations in IT, medical,
automotive and other industries as well as localization service providers
have invested in translation workflow or are at least exploring its
potential benefits. Is it a make or buy decision? At Localization World
Seattle, experience and knowledge about ³translation workflow² will be
shared in both a full-day preconference workshop and in a double panel
session.

Translation technology will also be the hottest topic in the keynote forum
with industry leaders Rory Cowan and Mark Lancaster, the CEOs of the
localization industryıs two largest companies: Lionbridge and SDL. With the
perspective of the recent mergers in the industry, it will be most revealing
to witness the visions they will present under the guidance of Hans
Fenstermacher, chair of the GALA organization.

Technology undoubtedly plays a major role in Googleıs globalization
strategy, as will be presented in the second conference day keynote by Adam
Freed, director of globalization at Google Inc.

Localization World Seattle brings you a wide spectrum of valuable content,
not just limited to translation technology. There will be an exciting panel
discussion on online-bidding for localization services with representatives
from Sun, Ariba and Moravia. There will be cases of localization services
and technology presented by industry leading companies such as Symantec,
Avaya, Krones AG and Dade Behring. Managers from SAS Institute and MAQUET
Critical Care will debate the benefits of controlled authoring. Experts from
Bowne Global Solutions will discuss the use of Web Services technology in
translation. In another experts panel, delegates from Tektronix, WebMethods
and Enlaso will review the merits of a tight integration of translation
tasks. (For a complete overview of the LW Seattle program, see:
