There are many sources to go to for news and commentary on the translation industry. However, some of those sources are not regularly updated, or they focus on issues at the freelancer level. Here is a list of several preferred sources for news and commentary on the business and technology of translation, localization, and interpretation. Follow the links to quickly sign up for email alerts or RSS feeds, and you'll be kept up-to-date in the future without having to remember so many different URLs.
Monthly magazines - for monthly magazines and journals, I recommend subscribing to the following:
Regular newsletters - click on the links below to subscribe to the following newsletters:
- MultiLingual News (bimonthly)
- Global Intelligence Newsletter by CSN (bimonthly)
- The Toolkit (bimonthly)
- The Globalization Insider by LISA (almost monthly)
- GALAxy Newsletter (quarterly)
Regular blog commentaries - subscribe by email and/or RSS to the following regularly updated blogs:
- Global Watchtower by Common Sense Advisory
- Global by Design by Byte Level Research aka John Yunker
- T&I Business (see the subscription options above)
- inttranews
- Customized Google News or Google News Alerts for keywords like "translation," "localization," "machine translation," or "interpreter"
One of the more unique, up-and-coming sources above is inttranews. In addition to providing daily links to news articles, commentaries, and press releases, it also provides links to translation tender/RFP notices and awards. The inttranews daily feed includes a broader definition of the language industry, so localization professionals may not be interested in the articles included about ASL, but you'll find some good little tidbits there that the newsletters often miss. inttranews also appears to be receiving web traffic comparable to other sources that have been around a while longer.
All the above sources offer at least some free content, and a few offer additional paid services too. I've intentionally excluded many known sources from this list because those sources focus on freelancer issues, or they focus too much on company-specific agendas, or they are not regularly updated. If you have additional suggestions, please add them in the comments below.
