How To Make Community Localization Work - Jeff Beatty #29

Community localization means free translations... right? Not so fast. Before you make a decision, listen to Jeff Beatty - Senior Head of Localization at Mozilla.

Mozilla products are localized into 200+ languages thanks to their global community of localizers. How do you make community localization work? Learn in this episode where we also discussed:

▪ How to manage quality with a crowd
▪ Incentives for the community
▪ Why can community localization get more expensive
▪ Gamification and why Jeff hates leaderboards
▪ How to make partial localization viable
▪ Democratization of MT
▪ Standing in a corner... laughing?!

This is episode 29 of my social interaction practice, also known as The Localization Podcast :) #localization and #translation insight delivered to you by the power of voice, this time with Jeff Beatty.
