Testimonials
"Very well done. The course has a good structure and each subject is dealt with very clearly and in depth. I recommend it thoroughly." - Laura C.
"As someone who has translated apps for 7 years (only doing the translation work itself, everything else is dealt by the agencies I provide translation services to), I was pleasantly surprised by this course. There's a lot more to the localization process that I wasn't aware of previously, and this course has made me feel better prepared to eventually offer my services directly to developers." - Karen B.
"As a translator looking to branch out into software and website localization, this course was a great pick." - Ana B.
