Managing Translation Assets

A localization manager will work to create and maintain:

• Translation Memories
  
• Glossaries

These resources help ensure consistency in translations, speed up the process, and save you money by reducing the costs of translation services.

Preparing Localization Materials

• Style Guides – set of rules for how your company presents itself (rules about voice, writing style, sentence structure, spelling).
  
• Localization Policies – define what text assets in a repository must be translated, which languages are required and optional, and what the default language should be.

Ensuring Context Management

Context is crucial for localization quality. Be sure your localization leverages the best practices for delivering context to your translators with all needed Crowdin features.

• Screenshots management
  
• In-context technologies setup

Setting up Tools and Vendors

Your Localization Manager will: 

• Choose the right translation agency depending on your product content.
  
• Setup all the apps, tools, and integrations to automate the localization process.  
• Communicate with the local offices, freelancers, and internal project team members to ensure a well-planned workflow.
