More than words: inside the world of localization testing

In this Globally Speaking episode, we sit down with Anne Lepere and Francesca Filanti, Senior Managers in Testing at RWS, to explore what it really takes to make global products feel native, no matter where in the world they're used. Key topics covered: * Why localization testing is so much more than translation, but rather where linguistics meets engineering * The hidden technical work behind the scenes: ADB commands, debug flags, and device setups most linguists never see * Why testing functionality and language together, not separately, saves clients time, money, and headaches AI's growing role in localization and why human testers remain the final gatekeepers * What it takes to scale testing across 300+ native testers, 4,000 devices, and dozens of languages under brutal deadlines Whether you're building global products or just curious about what happens after "translate" is clicked, this episode will change how you think about the apps and devices you use every day.
