LOCALIZATION MANAGEMENT Seminar on 25 Feb
Presenter: Karen Combe
Cost: $895 reduced rates available for more than 1 registration


Localization Project Management Seminar Description:
This seminar will give new and experienced managers a solid grounding in
project management theory and practice. It will use examples from the
localization field and show the benefits of replacing a highly
individualized process with one that is standard, repeatable, predictable
and consistent. The seminar will have an interactive format that will
allow for participants' questions.

XML and Localization Seminar Description:
The seminar will look at XML from the localization viewpoint: as a format
used more and more to store translatable material, as well as a format
localizers can take advantage of to improve their processes. The seminar
will provide an overview of the basic facets of XML and its related
technologies, underlining the internationalization aspects. It will
present guidelines to create XML vocabularies and to author XML documents
with localization in mind. It will illustrate how to implement
re-usability, localization directives, as well as various some of the
other advantages XML can offer.

Localization Management Seminar Description:
The format of the seminar includes both lecture and interactive
discussions, including at least one exercise or case study. At the
conclusion of this seminar, participants will be equipped to make
decisions about how to structure localization for their companies and will
have tools to aid them in managing processes. A principle goal is also to
address attendees' individual issues and problems.

For complete seminar descriptions, registration
information, and other details, please visit the
Localization Institute's website at

STORY: SnagIt saves sanity

Dan the technical writer shuddered as the sound of his coworker running
through his cell phone ring options drifted over the cubicle wall.

When he couldn't take hearing a digitized "Take Me Out to the Ballgame"
any more, he ran over to the offending coworker's desk.

"What 'cha doing?" he said nonchalantly to mask his massive irritation.

"I love the options of my new phone!" Brad replied. "I have all these
rings, and -"

"If you love options," Dan interrupted, "I know a screen capture product
you will love."

He sat down and introduced Brad to SnagIt. As they downloaded the free
evaluation version, Dan explained that SnagIt makes work easier because it
can capture any image, text or video on the screen.

"The options give SnagIt its power. You select the Input - the area of
the screen. Then you select the Output - where you want the captured
selection to go. And get this - there are 42 different ways to capture!
You'll never tire of using different combinations of the options to
complete your work," Dan told him.

As Dan returned to his own cubicle, the cell phone ring tones were
replaced with Brad's shouts of surprise and elation over SnagIt's
capabilities.

Dan sang tunelessly, "SnagIt saves my sanity in more ways than one . . .
Just dial D-A-N for all your SnagIt needs . . . SnagIt solves your
problems - and mine!"

Brad's voice rang out.

"Um - Dan - could you hold it down? I'm working here."
