Bangkok, 7 December 2009 – Andovar has further shown its commitment to building the localization industry in South East Asia through heavy involvement in the first Localization and Translation Thailand conference. In addition to Andovar sponsoring this event, CEO Conor Bracken acted as both a guest speaker and panel member during the two-day conference held Dec 3-4, 2009.
The purpose of the Localization and Translation Thailand conference was to provide “a unique opportunity for users of translation, translation technology providers, and workers in the translation industry to compare views and collaborate in order to cultivate the industry and increase business and revenue opportunities,” according to conference organizers. These organizers consisted of ProZ.com, the Localization Industry Standards Association (LISA), National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC) and the Royal Institute of Thailand.
Andovar CEO, Conor Bracken, served as a panel member for the afternoon session “Enabling LSPs and Translators to Work Better Together” as well as making a presentation highlighting the challenges and opportunities for localization in emerging markets. Bracken pointed out strengths such as the fact that “purchasing power is rising at up to 10% p.a. while developed economies stagnate,” but also illustrated the difficulties faced by LSPs. Ending on a positive note, he emphasized the need for communication stating that “emerging markets need conferences like this one.”
