What are translation challenges?

Challenges

• Translators do not have context

• Developers do not have time to prepare information for translators

• Fixing issues late in the process is costly

• How to deal with updates (Agile)?

• In-country reviewers review often as side-job. They do not have time to extensively test the application

• How to report issues? Excel?

• Dependencies. Developers need to create a build before a review can start.

• Geographical locations

• Communication overhead

• Many stakeholders involved

• …

We designed Rigi to solve these challenges
