Session Abstract (T1)

Throughout 2016, LocWorld conferenceattendees were talking feverishly aboutcontinuous localization as if it were anew fashionable term for thelocalization industry. However, whenasked how it was working out for them,the response was frequently along thelines of “we still have a long way to go”or the less encouraging “we haven’teven started yet.” The localizationindustry’s brief obsession with the agilesoftware development methodologyamounted to nothing significant, but itdid fuel the desire for faster localization.To make this possible, there needed tobe a seismic shift in the way software isdeveloped and released.

Continuous localization is the newblack. It is a fusion of softwareinternationalization and localizationprocesses with a continuous integrationand deployment environment. Thissession is for organizations that arethinking about continuous localization.We will look at the ingredients forblending localization processes with anew or existing continuous integrationenvironment. We will also examine thetools and interfaces that can be used toautomate continuous deployment oflocales.

By the end of the session you willrecognize the key elements needed todesign a continuous localizationframework, and you will understand themarvels of modern gadgets and gizmosthat make it much more than just anagile talking point.
