Can a localization professional make everyone happy?

June 27, 2026

Localization Managers are often expected to keep many stakeholders happy: leadership, content teams, linguists, product teams, regional teams, finance, and procurement. But maybe happiness is not the real goal. In this post, I reflect on why stakeholder alignment matters more, and how Localization can make expectations, hidden work, ownership, and trade-offs more visible

May 30, 2026

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.

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

May 2, 2026

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

April 17, 2026
