A recent webinar hosted by Lingoport and Vistatec brought together industry leaders to tackle a pressing challenge in software localization: how to deliver global-ready products faster and with fewer defects. Panelists Adam Asnes, Simon Hodgkins, and Etienne Kröger emphasized the importance of integrating localization earlier in the product lifecycle, advocating for a “shift left” approach that allows teams to address localization issues before development is complete.

This shift not only reduces costs associated with late-stage fixes but also enhances product quality and team dynamics. By leveraging modern tools like Figma for design and VistatecVerifier for AI-assisted QA, organizations can streamline workflows, improve translation accuracy, and ensure localization is a core part of the development process rather than an afterthought. This proactive strategy positions localization as a revenue enabler, essential for capturing global market opportunities.

For localization professionals, the key takeaway is clear: prioritize early integration of localization in design and development to foster collaboration and efficiency. I highly recommend checking out the full discussion for deeper insights and actionable strategies.
