An interesting article on how #marketing automation platforms like @HubSpot support #localization and running global campaigns....if only I say so myself. Thanks @GALA_Global for sharing!

What a great post, you should write more often Anu! @anucarnegie There’s glory in every good story LSPs tell, regardless of their size or rank.

.@robertetches, I'd love to hear your takeaways/comments on this White Paper and the workflows/scenarios described there, and how they chime with your ideas. The White Paper seems fairly bullish to me. (If there is already something online, I apologize!)

Fantastic to see so many students of #t9n & #xl8 at #GALAMunich. Some as attendees, others as volunteers. Great questions, a lot of excitement. I’m enthusiastic about the new generation. Go conquer the world! Kudos to @GALA_Global for including the Transforming Talent sessions.

My other reading for the homeward train journey from the inspiring #GALAMunich? Sorted (by 2018 revenues). This time thanks to my friends at @Nimdzi_Insights

A stellar presentation by @TranslatorsWB’s @Stellamparis at #GalaMunich about their use of MT to unlock the voices of vulnerable people. A long way to go, with Klingon getting higher quality than Hausa with its 40M actual speakers.

I really like the #GALAMunich bag insert from Nimdzi. The 2019 #localization industry report in all its glory. And a quality print. Definitely an insert I’m taking home to keep.

I really love the #GALAMunich 2019 app. All the information I need at my fingertips. Makes me look forward to the event even more. Well done @GALA_Global.

One small step for French grammar books, one giant leap, eventually, for the #French language. It will be interesting to see how actual parlance will evolve for some of the ambiguous words. Le débat reste ouvert...

Spoiler alert: despite the apparent vacillations in the article, which maybe triggered so many enraged comments, the last sentence is: And that changes your life. Agreed. People vote by their downloads and language learning apps are giving translation apps a run for their money.

Oh hey, happy anniversary of the day Sir William Jones announced that he had discovered Proto-Indo-European (though he didn't call it that). A good day to have published a column on language change. economist.com/books-and-arts…

Fascinating data in the new @WIPO report on #AI. Machine learning is the most popular AI technique that was patented, with a huge increase in patents that cover deep learning and neural networks, both with a direct application in #translation and #nlp: wipo.int/tech_trends/en/arti…

Great to see a brand-new European unicorn—and that the investment will be used to fund @n26 's global expansion, with a US launch in early 2019. Is #fintech one area where European companies will bring innovation to the US? @RevolutApp and @monzo think so too.

I am impressed by the new vertical digital platform that @multilingualmag will launch in early 2019. Check out the preview issue at magazine.multilingual.com/. The best #l10n industry magazine just got even better.
