Global
LocLunch Day
LocFromHome & LocLunch have one common goal — to unite people interested in topics like I18n, L10n, G11n, global brand management, marketing, and translation software development. That’s why we decided to pull our efforts together and organize a Global LocLunch Day. It will take place the next day after LocFromHome globalization fest, so you will have a lot of things to share and discuss.
