🌍 A translation can be correct and still fail to communicate.

In multilingual environments, words carry more than meaning. They carry culture, history, identity, and context.

For African languages, this challenge is even more complex. Limited digital resources, language variation, and cultural nuances mean that a machine-generated translation may look accurate while missing what truly matters to the people who will read it.

Drawing from his experience as a translator and interpreter at the SADC Secretariat, Kis Henry explores the gap between AI translation and human localization in our latest blog post.

He discusses:
✅ Why AI performance varies across languages with different levels of digital resources
✅ How cultural meaning can disappear behind technically correct translations
✅ Why human expertise remains essential for institutional and public communication
✅ How language professionals can use AI as a tool while preserving linguistic and cultural accuracy

🎓 Kis Henry has worked in rooms where a wrong word changes everything. A rostered English-French translator and interpreter at the SADC Secretariat, certified Sworn Translator by the High Court of South Africa, and MBA holder in International Business, he brings cross-continental expertise to language practice. He trained at the University of the Witwatersrand and is currently completing his Master 2 in Technical Communication and Localisation (TCLoc) at the University of Strasbourg.

🤖 Is AI making localization project management less important?

With tighter deadlines, smaller budgets, and growing pressure to automate, it can sometimes feel that way.

But in our latest blog post, Anna Marava argues the opposite: in the age of AI, strong localization project management matters more than ever.

Drawing on the experience of Laura Gutiérrez Herráez, a localization PM with over a decade of experience in game localization and audiovisual projects, the post explores why human judgment still plays a critical role in multilingual content workflows.

It looks at:

✅ Why source-text analysis should never be skipped
✅ How cultural nuance can directly affect quality, compliance, and market suitability
✅ Why translators need strong context, glossaries, and reference materials to succeed
✅ Where AI can save time in localization workflows, and where it still falls short
✅ Which skills future localization PMs should develop to stay relevant in a changing industry

🎓 Anna Marava is a Localization Specialist with a decade of experience in translation and localization project management. Based in Athens, Greece, she works as a Technical Content Specialist at a leading software company while pursuing the TCLoc Master’s at the University of Strasbourg.
