The Localization team at Google makes sure that all content is translated and localized into more than 40 and in some cases even more than 60 languages.  With three distinct areas to the team, including linguistics, project management and tool development, translation is just one part of the entire localization process!

Come along to the Localization @Google panel to discover what exactly the Localization industry is, and how you can get into it…
