I am thrilled to be returning as a speaker at the Build Stuff<\/a> conference for yet another year! I’m here in the heart of Vilnius, Lithuania, from November 15 to November 17, and I can’t wait to share with all of you my insights on continuous localization; this time with a twist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About half a year ago, one of my good friends who runs the ADPList meetup in Zagreb contacted me to ask whether I could think of a topic that would be approachable and understandable to developers, designers, and even wider audience, such as product managers, testers, translators, and more! His only wish was that it was supposed to be written from a developer’s viewpoint. Suddenly, it clicked: I had a perfect area that I could talk and write about that caters to all mentioned audiences. And most importantly, I have a first-hand experience in it, so why wouldn’t I just prepare that topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I decided to prepare a topic about Continuous Localization in a way that brings everyone together – developers, designers, testers, product managers, translators, and customers! As I know a lot about this, my goal is to connect the dots and show you that when you think you know everything about localization, there is always something new that can help you put things into perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are my session goals?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As someone with 55% hearing loss in both ears, this topic is also experiential as it partially touches on some concepts important to hearing-impaired people. My primary goal is awareness<\/strong> – because if we want to go global with our product, we need to be able to truly connect with 8 billion people and that is where accessibility and localization come into play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, here are some key points we will explore in my session:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
