?? Is Localization Stuck in the Past? ?? The localization industry is running on 30-year-old tech. Let that sink in. CAT tools? Still built around the same principles from the 1980s. QA processes? Flooded with false positives and inefficiencies. Leadership? Millennials are finally taking over, but are we ready to challenge outdated workflows? In this episode of Merging Minds, Javier Díaz sat down with Jourik Ciesielski—CTO of Yamagata Europe and co-founder of K International—to talk about: ?? Why AI is disrupting localization faster than most companies can handle ?? The real reason many businesses resist change—even when they know they need it ?? The outdated mindset that’s stopping the industry from evolving ?? How millennial leaders can push localization forward (without corporate BS) “If something hasn’t changed in 30 years, it’s not solid—it’s obsolete.” ?? This episode is not for the faint of heart. If you're ready to challenge the way things have always been done, watch it now. ?? ?? Click on the link in the comments. #Localization #AI #Leadership #MillennialLeadership #Innovation

?? Are TMS providers locking you in? ?? Some Translation Management Systems (TMS) intentionally structure files to make it difficult for users to switch platforms. It’s a hidden trap many companies don’t see until it’s too late. Imagine investing in a tool, only to realize later that your data is stuck—structured in a way that makes migration nearly impossible. This isn't just inconvenient; it can cost you time, money, and flexibility when your business needs change. Gabriel Fairman exposes this industry secret in our latest video. Don’t get stuck—know the red flags! ?? #CatTools #TranslationMemory #TMS #TranslationManagementSystem #MachineTranslation

In this video, Gabriel Fairman explores the parallels between AI-driven cars and AI-powered translation, breaking down: ? Why AI adoption follows an exponential curve ? The difference between full automation and AI-assisted work ? What translators can learn from autonomous vehicle disruption ? How to adapt instead of being left behind ??

The tech industry is evolving, but women are still underrepresented in leadership—especially in Fortune 500 companies. Why is it so hard to break through the glass ceiling? In this episode of Merging Minds, Javier Díaz sits down with Anna Navarro i Descals (Schlegel) to discuss what it really takes for women to survive and thrive in a male-dominated industry. Anna’s journey is nothing short of inspiring—from starting her own company in Silicon Valley at 23 to becoming a global VP in tech and now stepping into politics as a member of the Catalan Parliament. ?? Key takeaways from our conversation: ?? Why imposter syndrome never really goes away—and how to push through it ?? The real challenges women face in corporate leadership ?? Why mentorship and continuous learning are key to success ?? How Anna transitioned from tech leadership to politics ?? Link for the full episode in the comments. ??

?? Think Solutions Architects just sit behind a screen coding all day? Think again. In our latest Merging Minds episode, Javier Díaz sits down with Bill Lafferty to break down the biggest misconception about the role: it’s NOT just about tech. A great Solutions Architect is also a problem-solver, strategist, and communicator who bridges the gap between technology and business. ?? “If you think you can be a Solutions Architect and just send emails or Slack messages all day, you’re in for a surprise.” – Bill Lafferty So, what’s your take? Are Solutions Architects a back-office role or a frontline business function? Drop your thoughts in the comments! ?? #SolutionsArchitecture #TechLeadership #Localization #MergingMinds
