Time For a Change
Notes from the Supervisory Committee
Ten years ago LISA was founded as a “Roundtable” of some fifteen companies, carefully chosen from the demand and the supply side of what was then barely beginning to be known as the localization industry. Officially the goal of this industry group was to establish “standards” such as a standard format for exchange of terminology, but for the individuals around the table this was really an excuse. The excitement was in being able to communicate with our peers in other companies—being together we finally felt that what we were doing was important and different. From the start we felt we needed to keep this exclusivity. Our main concern seemed to separate the wheat from the chaff—after all we were not ordinary translators, who would just translate documentation. Another concern was to try to keep an even balance between suppliers of services and publishers.  The remainder of this article is available only to LISA members and Newsletter subscribers.
