Mar 17 To translate internally or to outsource ... that is the question.

Miguel Sepulveda

Which approach is more efficient nowadays when it comes to decide your Localisation strategy? Is it better to have in-house translators and localizers? or might it be more efficient to outsource these tasks to a a Localization vendor? In my weekly post I share some thoughts that it might help to take a better decision in this complex situation.

A practical way to build your next Localization strategy

June is strategy season for many corporate teams. And for Localization, this usually means uncomfortable questions about budget, AI, workflows, markets, metrics, and business value. Before jumping into new tools or complex plans, maybe it is worth going back to the basics

June 5, 2026

Start with purpose because the tool is not the strategy

AI promises faster localization, and that message is attractive. But in many teams, the real issue is not speed. The work gets delivered. The harder question is how much hidden coordination, unclear ownership, and workflow complexity it takes to get there.

Want leaders to listen to you when talking about Localization? Start with risk

When leaders push back on localization time, resources, or AI, the strongest answer is not to defend every step of the process. It is to reframe the conversation around risk.

In this post, I explore why explaining Localization from a quality perspective, with too many process details, may not always be the best strategy when speaking with senior stakeholders.

Why buyer-side localization feels different

This post explores the key differences between working on the buyer versus the provider side of the localization industry. While there are some tasks common to both, others vary significantly in areas such as people management, operations, strategy, and metrics. The article breaks these tasks into four categories, providing examples for each to highlight these distinctions

LLMs don’t improve by themselves. Localization has seen this before

LLMs don’t learn your brand style just because you use them more. They improve when someone guides them, feeds them with examples, corrects them, and owns the outcome. In this blog post I reflect on how we can create a strategy to do that

What buyer-side teams may really need from LSPs in 2026

In some RFPs today, it is no longer so clear what buyers really value from LSPs. This post explores why. Based on my experience on the buyer side, I share why the real need may be shifting from pure execution toward something harder to explain, but often more useful in practice.

When you don’t want to wnswer “What’s the ROI of Localization?”

What do you do when someone asks for the ROI of localization and you know the question is too narrow from the start? In this post, I reflect on why I stopped trying to prove isolated ownership and started talking more honestly about contribution.

The Arrival Fallacy: I’ll Be Happy When People Understand Localization

Reading The Myths of Happiness reminded me of the arrival fallacy: the belief that once we reach a certain goal, everything will finally feel solved. In localization, that can look like waiting for the day when people will finally understand what we do. But organizations keep changing, so that moment may never fully come. And maybe accepting that is exactly what helps us stay grounded, avoid frustration, and keep moving forward.

Who pays the party? Why Localization budget ownership matters

In many companies, the localization budget does not sit with the localization team. At first, that may seem like a small detail. But over time, it changes how localization influences strategy
