-
40 min
A good user experience starts with clear, high-quality texts. But what happens when a product has to speak more than one language? How do a technical writer and a localisation specialist work together to ensure that the text remains accurate, user-friendly, and natural in every locale?
In this talk, we will explore:
-
why seamless collaboration between a technical writer and a localisation specialist is critical for the product;
-
how they interact at different stages — from writing to adaptation;
-
our practical experience: which tools and approaches help avoid mistakes and accelerate the process.
This talk will be valuable for anyone working with texts in IT products, as well as for those who want to understand how to make documentation and interfaces truly comfortable for an international audience.
