Summer Quarter Certificate in Localization: Language and Technology for the Global Market

Students participating in the two Summer Quarter courses will learn how to make web-based content and software available in another language – taking into consideration other cultural norms and geopolitical issues - and to acquire hands-on experience in translating webpages, software strings, user interfaces and help files, allowing target users to interact at every level in their local language. Courses are taught by Localization professionals with 10+ years of experience in the field.
