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 World Program Committee:
• Barbara Burbach, Hewlett-Packard
• Sung Cho, Jonckers Translations & Engineering
• Thomas Fenrich, Yahoo! Inc.
• Kim Harris, GALA, text & form GmbH
• Kaimeng Huang, Adobe
• Aki Ito, TOIN Corporation
• Wei-Tai Kwok, Ion Global
• Peijing Mo, Palm
• Arturo Quintero, Moravia
• James Wei, E-C Translation
