L10N Forum Now Online

London, Boston, San Jose, San Francisco – July 10, 2007 – A new online community for localization professionals has been created by multi-national language services firm Rubric. The L10N Forum is now open to the public.

“Rubric believes in building relationships, and that includes building communities,� said Ian Henderson, Rubric’s CEO. “Through our Birds of a Feather breakfast series we learned that localization pros wanted to communicate with one another often, to share strategy and tactics. With the L10N Forum, they can do so with localization specialists around the world.�

Located at www.L10N-Forum.org, the L10N Forum provides topic areas on all aspects of product and marketing localization and globalization. Topic categories include globalization business issues and trends, technical aspects to localizations, translation technologies, localization project management and job postings. Registration is required to post a message, but anyone can read the forums.

“The feedback has been extremely positive,� said Francoise Spurling, COO at Rubric. “There is no similar resource like this for localization workers. And yet localization workers want to commune and share their knowledge. Rubric is delighted that we can make this happen.�

“The forum is devoid of vendors and advertising,� said Henderson. “The L10N Forum is for peers to communicate with one another, and we have a strict no vendor, no advertising policy. We want people to know that they will find help at the L10N Forum, and not a sales pitch.�
