Meet Our Team:

This platform significantly boosts the productivity of Copywriters and Translation Operations, while improving the workflow for development teams that integrate language strings. By automating string collection, translation and deployment, the team ensures higher-quality English and translated strings are delivered faster and more consistently. In short, our team's work underpins the localization efforts that make Warner Bros. Discovery's streaming products truly global.
