Chief Language Services Officer @what3words

London, GB

I head up the language services at what3words. My team and I work on a huge range of projects- Product development: creating what3words addresses in new languages (currently >50!)- Multilingual in-app functions: including speech recognition, optimal character recognition (OCR)- Localisation across all 50+ languages: marketing assets, products, sales tools We have extensive experience of managing teams across the world, having worked with over 2,500 freelancers in over 100 countries. We are as comfortable with the technical aspects of language support - including non-Latin script languages, text and speech input and UTF consistency - as we are in the cultural nuances required to work so globally and tailor everything we do to the local market.
