We’re hosting a session for SaaS and software teams who are working across multiple languages, and we’d love you to join us.
We know that translating product and customer-facing content can become complex very quickly, especially when you’re supporting users in different regions and trying to keep everything accurate, consistent and on-brand.
There have been so many advances recently — from smarter translation technology and automation tools, to improved machine translation and AI-based quality checks, and it can be hard to know what’s genuinely useful and what isn’t.
That’s exactly why we’re running this webinar.
We’ll be sharing practical, easy-to-follow advice on how teams can make the most of these new developments to:
👉translate content faster, without bottlenecks
👉reduce costs in a safe, sensible way
👉automate the repetitive steps
👉keep terminology consistent across all languages
👉avoid translations delaying product releases
👉and blend technology with expert linguists for the best results
Webinar: How SaaS and Software Companies Can Use New Translation Tech to Scale Into Multiple Languages — Safely, Quickly and Cost-Effectively
If you can’t make it live, just register anyway and we’ll send the recording and slides straight after.

💚 🩷 𝗥𝗘𝗝𝗢𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗙𝗬 💚 🩷 For all Wicked Fans - it is going to be a big weekend!✨
With 𝙒𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙙: 𝙁𝙤𝙧 𝙂𝙤𝙤𝙙 landing in cinemas on 21 November, it feels like the right time to celebrate one of the quiet stars of the Wicked universe: its made-up language.
From 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗺 to 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀, Ozian words look playful, but they are carefully engineered. The writers build them by stretching familiar English roots and endings so they sit on the edge of nonsense while still being instantly understandable.
Everyday language works in much the same way. New blends appear (“parasocial” is a trending word of 2025), older words quietly change meaning (did you know that “awful” used to literally mean “full of awe”, as in something amazing), and different groups develop their own small dialects. Language is as fluid and changing as the people who use it.
So to celebrate the release of Part Two, we picked five of our favourite Ozian words and unpacked what they tell us about how flexible language really is.
