With so much going on in our industry from the tech, to the translators, to M&A activity, it can be tough to pinpoint a single source of truth for all of your localization news. Relying only on one source means you’re bound to miss something.
In an attempt to help you stay up-to-date with all things localization, we want to call out a handful of Twitter accounts you can follow to get your fill of industry content, discussions and updates in real-time; wherever and whenever you want it.Slator News is one of the best resources for everything and anything translation.

The American Translation Society is the largest professional association in the US and is home to over 11,000 translation professionals in over 100 countries.
