People in our industry easily get daunted by all these technologies, and remain paralyzed in a world where automation is a top differentiator.
This presentation aims to define all the above concepts relating to automation in the translation industry and clear up the fog, and we will also give a practical step-by-step guide on getting started with automation. While we will get a little technical, the webinar is also suitable for non-technical participants with a couple of years of experience in the translation industry.
Target group
- C-level executives
- Production/localization managers
- Technical staff at LSPs and
- Enterprises interested in getting started with automation.
Takeaways
- Automation starts at understanding and modelling what you are doing.
- Automation is not a one-off project, it’s a continuous process of co-creation based on communication.
- The key to automation is attention to details, and openness to change for the improvement of the company, rather than individuals’ work.
