Ep. 023: Translation and Localization Services: Why Expertise Matters | Guest: Cecilia Maldonado

The Invisible Profession | A podcast by Linguava

David Brackett sits down with Ceci Maldonado, a Translation and Localization expert to discuss a variety of topics, trends, and challenges in this industry.

They answer questions like, Can cheap translation services work effectively? Can I have a staff member translate our company documents? The upward trend of having more control over the quality and cost of translations joins the growing relationship between the translation and localization vendor with the client. "Everything comes down to how good the communication is with a client, and that communication is what makes a good partnership." ~ Ceci Maldonado
