Welcome to the localization blog. I am a former student now working at Amazon (after a very long hiatus of unemployment). I will write here from time to time about localization issues, and I have a few other places you can see my writing if you're interested. I have an article in Multilingual for April/May 2010 entitled "Beginning a career as a Localization project manager". Well, I'm not one, but the class was helpful. I just found a role I couldn't pass up and I figure in time my localization background will open doors here for me. If you'd like to read more of my writing that touches on localization I also have a blog that I will leave up, though today will be its final post due to conflict of interest. You can see it at http://pcerda.wordpress.com.
I highly recommend the course and I wish you the best of luck. pc

Check back on this blog regularly. The UW Certificate program staff will sometimes list news about the program and the courses as well as changes that may be in planning. You'll also get a chance to read posts by program instructors Paulo de Oliveira, Carla DiFranco, and Hiram Machado. You may find job postings, relevant industry news & trends, job market information, tips from industry leaders, and internship opportunities. We'll also ask board members to contribute which will provide the perspective from companies and organizations such as Microsoft, Google, Adobe, Getty Images, Lionbridge, LISA, and more.
New Online Loc Program
Starting in Fall 2010, the Loc program will go online. What does that mean? Well, it means that students can continue to come to class in person, but now there will also be an online section so that students can attend classes remotely and live. They can see the instructor's screens through screen casting, they can hear the instructor's lectures and interact with the instructors and students through either voice or chat. To learn more about the online program, go here.
