Vote in the "What's in a Name?" Survey
Why this matters
- Limited direct impact on localization workflows or business models.
- Survey results may influence industry terminology but lack immediate consequences.
- Participation is voluntary and does not guarantee substantial change.
The Globalization and Localization Association (GALA) is inviting industry professionals to participate in a survey aimed at redefining the terminology used in our field. As the landscape evolves with advancements in AI, many feel that the term “localization” no longer captures the full scope of services provided, prompting the need for a more fitting descriptor.
This survey seeks input from both clients and suppliers to gather diverse perspectives on how to better articulate the value and breadth of our work. The insights collected will inform discussions during the WorldReady plenary session in Berlin, highlighting the collective voice of the industry at a pivotal moment in its evolution.
For localization professionals, this is an opportunity to influence the future language of our industry. Participating in the survey not only allows you to express your views but also ensures that the terminology we use accurately reflects the dynamic nature of our work.
