This year, Localization Lab is convening a three-part remote Localization Summit, bringing together Localization Lab community leaders from all over the world to share experiences, discuss challenges, and propose and consider solutions around their localization efforts. Session One took place on May 21 and focused on Emerging Threats and Unmet Needs. Sixteen language team leaders prepared presentations on the challenges their language groups are facing, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

A report summarizing the presentations and some high-level takeaways is here: Session 1: Emerging Threats & Unmet Needs

Session Two will be held this Friday, May 28, and the topic will be Building Localization Sustainability. Localization Lab will convene a roundtable discussion with team coordinators, developers, funders, and partners about opportunities to improve localization sustainability through funding, volunteer community management and engagement, organizational partnerships, and localization resource development. A public report from that session will follow as well.
