Tasty, tasty slides…

Multi Simon

For anyone who wants to see them, I’ve finally managed to upload the slides from my SXSWi talk “Taking over the World: the Flickr way”, a broad-sweep view of some of the issues and solutions we encountered whilst taking Flickr from an English-only site to supporting multiple languages.

You can find them over at the talks page, along with the details of my next scheduled talk at XTech in Dublin on May 5th 2008.

You know, this article used to be 4000 words longer, but right before I pressed 'Save', the dog ate it. Honest.

    Simon,

    I saw you speak at SXSW and I was hoping you could recommend a good localization firm. I remember you mentioned having worked with a few at Flickr, but I don’t remember you saying any names.

    We have a project we are in the initial planning stages that will contain 150+ pages per language. Potentially thousands of pages. We are looking for a firm who can not only help us translate, but who can also do production and flow content once the structure of the site is built out.

    Thanks so much and I look forward to hearing from you.
