To make this choice, you should assess what you already have, especially regarding data. Your industry plays a significant role in this decision. For instance, if you&#8217;re in the SaaS or software business, you&#8217;ll need to identify your target audience, like knowledge workers, and understand the potential market for your products. Metrics on untapped opportunities are vital as well.<\/p><p class=\"zw-paragraph heading0\" data-header=\"0\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;ff&quot;:&quot;Liberation Serif&quot;,&quot;fv&quot;:&quot;normal&quot;,&quot;td&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;cs&quot;:&quot;0pt&quot;,&quot;fw&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;fgc&quot;:&quot;rgb(0, 0, 0)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;14.00&quot;,&quot;va&quot;:&quot;baseline&quot;,&quot;fw_i&quot;:400,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;,&quot;fs&quot;:&quot;normal&quot;,&quot;bgc&quot;:&quot;rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)&quot;}\" data-margin-bottom=\"12pt\" data-hd-info=\"0\" data-line-height=\"1.2\" data-doc-id=\"7232205000012129016\" data-doc-type=\"writer\">Consider the market&#8217;s history.

If you rely on a partner network, ensure they can operate effectively in the chosen country or region.<br \/>Having a presence in the market, such as an office, can be advantageous.

It necessitates a shift in mindset. It&#8217;s not merely about localisation; it&#8217;s about aligning with the business and its objectives. Effectively communicating and collaborating with stakeholders is crucial. It&#8217;s about translating your knowledge into a language that resonates and delivers results. This interaction with business stakeholders, gathering data, and aligning all the pieces supporting global expansion is both a challenge and a valuable learning experience.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-97b32da elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"97b32da\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Have you ever wondered why localisation is necessary, especially considering your assertion that everyone should speak the same language?<\/h5>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b1aeb1b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b1aeb1b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"zw-paragraph heading0\" data-header=\"0\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;ff&quot;:&quot;Liberation Serif&quot;,&quot;fv&quot;:&quot;normal&quot;,&quot;td&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;cs&quot;:&quot;-0.5pt&quot;,&quot;fw&quot;:&quot;bold&quot;,&quot;fgc&quot;:&quot;rgb(0, 0, 0)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;14&quot;,&quot;va&quot;:&quot;baseline&quot;,&quot;fw_i&quot;:400,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;,&quot;fs&quot;:&quot;normal&quot;,&quot;bgc&quot;:&quot;rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)&quot;}\" data-margin-bottom=\"12pt\" data-hd-info=\"0\" data-line-height=\"1.2\" data-doc-id=\"7232205000012350027\" data-doc-type=\"writer\">Certainly, especially in companies where localisation is still in its early stages, like my experience at Atlassian, where I was the first formal localisation hire.

As a translator, nearly two decades ago, I received instructions and files, a far cry from today&#8217;s landscape, where translators often connect through various project management tools. Shifting to a Language Service Provider (LSP) role, I grasped the importance of precise instructions, communication, and technology.<\/p><p class=\"zw-paragraph heading0\" data-header=\"0\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;ff&quot;:&quot;Liberation Serif&quot;,&quot;fv&quot;:&quot;normal&quot;,&quot;td&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;cs&quot;:&quot;-0.5pt&quot;,&quot;fw&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;fgc&quot;:&quot;rgb(0, 0, 0)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;14&quot;,&quot;va&quot;:&quot;baseline&quot;,&quot;fw_i&quot;:400,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;,&quot;fs&quot;:&quot;normal&quot;,&quot;bgc&quot;:&quot;rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)&quot;}\" data-margin-bottom=\"12pt\" data-hd-info=\"0\" data-line-height=\"1.2\" data-doc-id=\"7232205000012350027\" data-doc-type=\"writer\">Technology, in particular, emerges as a central theme. As you establish a localisation program, technology becomes your ally. Companies now have their project management tools, and during my time at Atlassian, we heavily relied on JIRA. This allowed us to unify our vendors and team in one platform. Technology offers the beauty of seamless communication and consistency, making it an indispensable tool for scaling up localisation efforts.<\/p><p class=\"zw-paragraph heading0\" data-header=\"0\" data-textformat=\"{&quot;ff&quot;:&quot;Liberation Serif&quot;,&quot;fv&quot;:&quot;normal&quot;,&quot;td&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;cs&quot;:&quot;-0.5pt&quot;,&quot;fw&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;fgc&quot;:&quot;rgb(0, 0, 0)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;14&quot;,&quot;va&quot;:&quot;baseline&quot;,&quot;fw_i&quot;:400,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;,&quot;fs&quot;:&quot;normal&quot;,&quot;bgc&quot;:&quot;rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)&quot;}\" data-margin-bottom=\"12pt\" data-hd-info=\"0\" data-line-height=\"1.2\" data-doc-id=\"7232205000012350027\" data-doc-type=\"writer\">My approach to project management hinges on leveraging technology and maintaining effective communication.
