The Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey (MIIS) and BWX (a Bureau Works company) are thrilled to announce a technology partnership geared toward localization education and innovation.

A comprehensive platform enables the extensive data tracking needed to build an efficient translation project.

Leveraging the ability to scale a strategy and product to numerous markets makes a global standardization strategy so successful.

A strong localization partner will shift your localization paradigms to scale your software’s reach and set you up for a long-term localization strategy that grows with your business.

Bureau Works is dedicated to helping businesses launch their products and services around the globe.

Communicating correctly with your audience is critical in staying relevant in a global market.

A strong localization management platform can mean the difference between paying for sub-par translation services vs. quality work.

Developing a brand localization strategy before entering a new market can result in positive results for your brand.

If you develop an app with global aspirations, you will undoubtedly need localization.

Exploring the advantages of human translation can help your company determine the best option for your translation services.

When the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the globe, eLearning opportunities skyrocketed.

Quality translation could mean the difference between market success and falling flat.

As technology advances, so do the methods available for translating content.

Aside from legal, business, or overly technical documents, translators often take creative liberties to give content a more natural and inclusive feel for new markets.

Over 460 million people speak Spanish, giving the language the second largest population of native speakers globally.

At Bureau Works, we've witnessed all the possible mistakes, so we understand the importance of guiding your efforts with our 3-step expert business localization strategy.

Understanding the importance of translating your website for new markets is one thing, but several factors can affect decision-making.

We live in a digital world. It’s become the biggest propeller of revenue for many different industries.

Translation memories are a powerful tool used in translation services to help streamline converting text from one language to another. Professional translation companies use this technology to save time, increase accuracy and reduce costs when working on any project.

Large-global enterprises spend tens of millions of dollars a year on translation and localization.

You may already have a trusted translation provider you work with. We get it. However, just like having a generator in case of a power outage can come in handy, having a backup translation provider can be a smart choice too.

Software localization refers to all of the complex processes required to make a software product available in more than its original language.

WPML allows users to set up a language selector, export/import content for translation in XLIFF format, and simplifies what would otherwise be an arduous, manual process.

A good CAT tool will work as the translator’s best friend/assistant.

Before we answer this question let’s address the paradigm divide that lives within the question: the process-first vs. the software-first paradigm.

The use of Machine Translation (MT) is continuously increasing as more companies and brands intend to reach global audiences.

If you are considering switching TMS(Translation Management Systems) and someone told you that “it’s easy! Just download your TMX and TBX files and upload them onto your new TMS!” - chances are that you are in for a ride. Switching TMSs although ostensibly simple opens up a pandora’s box of pain.

Machine Translation is a subject that many people know exists but do not understand what it is about. Yes, we know it is an automated translation, but do you understand how it works?

Flaunting the latest translation technology tools has been a huge selling point for most translation agencies, and they usually market the technology as the solution to all your localization struggles.

How accurate is Google Translate? That’s the biggest question posed when it comes to deciding if it’s worth using, especially when the standards for accuracy increase every year while the patience for reading subpar content decreases in tandem.

On December 10, 2021, a bug in Log4J, a ubiquitous logging mechanism present in many Java applications mas made public.

Google Translate allows you to feed text or a few different file types, select the languages you want to translate into, and ta-dam! All translated for free.Why bother paying Bureau Works?

What Are the Must-Have Features for a Software Localization Platform. Knowing what features to look for when choosing a specific platform can make or break your localization strategy’s success.

Website translation connectors are one of the best technologies available for localization because they can automate a large part of the process.

What Is CSS and How Does It Apply to Localization? CSS is a styling language that defines the appearance of websites

We define a large-scale connector strategy as one that produces over 5000 Work Units in BWX per sync request.A work unit in BWX is a combination of a file + workflow step + language pair. So a project with 5 files, 2 workflow steps (Translation + Review), and 5 languages will result in 50 work units.

Some website translation technology features are indispensable to a robust localization program. However, they may be overlooked in the face of alternative options that are made to sound invaluable thanks to good marketing.

Website translation proxy services are popular among companies that want to quickly translate their content without developing a complete localization strategy.

Even in today’s modern times, we’ve seen many companies approach translation project management through unsophisticated means that cannot support the projects’ complexities.

The value of the global language services market reached nearly $50 billion in 2019, and much of this came from innovations in technology.

People in our industry have created an alphabet soup of jargon to make your life as hard as possible. That's not entirely true although it does seem that way. ;)

Websites are unlike any other translation project because they’re living, breathing entities.

what are the different steps a translator has to take before submitting his or her translation to the client? Here are some of them.

There are many ways to approach a new translation project or even a new final client.

It means this is a large and growing market. As in any translation, being fluent in two languages is not enough ​​to be a good professional.

Translation is one of the oldest trades around. Ever since the dawn of civilization, translators were necessary to celebrate trade agreements, broker peace treaties, and overall ensure that we humans do not bludgeon each other to death due to our inability to understand across languages.

A lot of translators, like anyone else, want to give some of their time back to the community.

Maybe you've always had a love for languages. Maybe even as a kid, you knew you wanted to study linguistics, maybe you even knew you wanted to become a translator and went to get your degree right after highschool.

As a professional translator, you most likely know where to find resources that are useful to you.

The concept of globalization has increasingly become a prime marketing strategy for many businesses.

When you’re a translator and you want to expand your portfolio as a subtitler, it can be difficult to get proper assignments if you don’t have much subtitling experience. When you start subtitling, you’ll also find out quickly that it is an expertise in itself, and that it requires additional skills.

One of the great joys of freelancing is the ability to work at your own pace.

One of my most recent and fascinating experiments is to hand my Spotify to my kids in the car while driving them to school. The other day, the DJs went from Weezer playing Africa and Ed Sheeran with Shivers. I have no saying, and it's super fun to watch them argue and decide who gets to choose first, the songs and whether it's the "clean" version or not.The last week was full of performance improvements, so there will be no noticeable User Interface changes.

Update #1: I will stop enumerating these updates. It’s hard to keep track, and it also adds nothing to the content.

Language is beautiful, right? I speak Portuguese, I egotistically and egocentrically say it’s a beautiful language, it sounds nice and musical. Like every other language, some sentences can be extremely complex.

Remember the nerdy updates from last edition? I will share one of them, a cool one for that matter. We’ve killed the nginx web servers that servantly served our content to you. In Bureau Works, everything is API-based so the front-end is very thin, yet rich client.

Siblings fight. That’s what we do, we grow up fighting and we have (in most cases) infinite love to share. Brazil beat Argentina yesterday for the Copa America.

It’s about time for the second update! I still haven’t figure out a good title for these update entries, so any love for “News From the Robots”? These are some relevant facts.
