Release summary: Command Center 2.3
Lingoport has a new release of its central Command Center, which is the interface used to manage internationalization and localization automation via its Globalyzer and Localyzer products.
This is an incremental release with a number of security and bug fixing improvements, and a convenience feature that lets customers manually upload and download files for translation, outside of automation activities. This is very useful in special cases, solving issues for client and translator system limitations that prevent convenient automation.

Catch Our Webinar on i18n Maturity ??
Internationalization isn’t just a development task—it’s what makes efficient localization possible. Get it right, and everything runs smoothly. Get it wrong, and you’ll face delays, endless fixes, and frustrated teams.??
Some companies integrate i18n seamlessly into their workflows. Others struggle with recurring issues. The difference? Planning. Internationalization needs to be part of development from day one, not an afterthought.
On January 29th, we hosted a webinar with Addison Phillips, an i18n engineer with over 20 years of experience at tech giants like Amazon and Yahoo. He shared insights on the key mechanisms of internationalization, industry best practices, and how companies can improve their approach to continuous localization.?
