National Weather Service outlines goals for more efficient Spanish translations
The National Weather Service (NWS) is currently looking into adopting a more efficient translation workflow, according to a recently published request for information (RFI). Currently the NWS produces such translations manually, however the organization believes this to be an unsustainable practice due to the heavy workload and the amount of time it takes to complete — as such, it seems that machine learning technology is in order.

Localization tech predictions for 2019
What does 2019 hold for us? Well, if we pay attention to the predictions of 16th-century seer Nostradamus, we should brace ourselves for flooding, wars and a strike by a meteor. Assuming we survive all of that, what does 2019 hold for technology trends?
Humor and AI: Does it travel?
Conversational interfaces such as chatbots and voice assistants present many localization challenges — humor, for example. And that’s not even considering if the original content was all that funny to begin with.
Conversational UI Language Design at LocWorld35
Conversational UI localization and language design skills are central to a great user experience. CUI means we moved from a "user"-centric concept of design to a human-centric one. After all, what could be more "natural" that talking to a computer? Both humans and computers "converse" in dialog, and it's the language design knowledge for such a conversation that's critical to delivering a natural, human-like interaction between the two.
