We are happy to announce that enrollment is now open for two 2007 localization workshops offered by California State University, Chico Continuing Education, in partnership with the Globalization and Localization Association (GALA) and The Localization Institute.
CSU, Chico Continuing Education, in partnership with the Globalization and Localization Association (GALA) and The Localization Institute, announces open enrollment for the 2007 Localization Certification Program for professionals, business executives, web managers, and other professionals wanting to learn localization and international e-business.
Initiated in early 2006, the Localization Certification Program was developed by industry experts representing the leading professional associations, publishers and academic institutions in the field as a response to this growing demand for localization professionals. The program provides a unique educational opportunity to learn and demonstrate competency in the up-and-coming localization and international e-business fields.
The demand for the program was so overwhelming in 2006, that there will be workshops in two locations for 2007 - one in Europe and one in the USA.

Professionals charged with international marketing, translation, localization and other business functions must now possess a blend of industry-specific knowledge, technical e-business skills, language translation management experience, and a cultural understanding of the people and markets they serve.
“We have partnered with many significant contributors to the field to establish this program, and we look forward to providing an educational solution for those who sell and market products globally. As companies attempt to expand their exports, this education becomes essential business knowledge,” commented Nitish Singh, CSU, Chico associate professor, director of the College of Business Localization Program, and author of The Culturally Customized Web Site.
