This article provides an overview of some of the major surveys published so far (without pretending to be exhaustive) before going on to discuss what actions are now needed. In doing so, it draws on recent developments within LISA and on the results of the 1998 Workshop hosted by the Software Localization Interest Group (SLIG) and the Language Resources Center (LRC) in Dublin on July 1, on “Marketing the Localisation Industry”. ![]() The remainder of this article is available only to LISA members and Newsletter subscribers.
