Localization
World San Francisco:
November 15-17, 2004, San Francisco, California USA
Program Schedule
Localization
World Taxonomy
The
organizers of Localization World have developed a localization taxonomy
to help active participants as well as first-time visitors find their
way around the world of localization. Issues are classified in three broad
topics: Functions, Industries and Geographies. This classification is
used both in the Localization World Network — where it will help
you identify fellow travelers and network with others who share your interests
— as well as in the Localization World program where each session
is "tracked" according to the taxonomy.
Localization
Functions include — with the particular focus in San Francisco:
| Process |
Localization
Process — authoring, content engineering and management,
terminology management, quality management, project management, Web
globalization, customer support |
| Automation
|
Translation
Automation — Machine translation, translation memory, workflow
automation, terminology automation |
| Standards |
Standards
& Organizations — quality standards, web standards, interchange
standards |
| Business
|
Localization
Business — benchmarking, business models, markets and trends,
vendor relations, case studies
|
In
addition to Localization Functions, sessions are coded by:
| Industries |
Vertical
Industries — with sessions on airlines, medical device manufacturing,
and games as well as software publishing |
| Geographies |
Geographies
— with sessions on Asia (in anticipation of the first Localization
World Asia in 2006) and on ethnic markets the United States |
