The African Network for Localisation (ANLoc) – Training sub-project is calling for participation in three of its upcoming software localisation training events.
ANLoc’s mission is to empower Africans to participate in the digital age by removing the last inch limitations imposed on language usage by the limitation of technology.
The Training sub-project addresses the need for local localisation skills and runs training courses for local African language practitioners to empower themselves in the software translation process.
