A Software Localization Meeting Beijing

Localization Meeting Beijing
Originally uploaded by taigerwan.

Yesterday, I attended a localization meeting in Beijing, which consisted of several speeches given by sponsors and main players in translation or software localization industry. Nonetheless, all the speeches were very crass-some become product sales conference, and some sound like college job fair- except the part about the curricula of School of Software and Microelectronics, Peking University.

The only value for me to attend this meeting is to know a Senior Project Manager from a Taiwan Vendor. I might contact him later when I was free. He said some of clients asked its company to arrange some Taiwanese professionals to work in Beijing. However, this is not a permanent request. I think that is especially suitable for me.

At night, Sheath and I discussed about our business. I was exciting. I am going to give it a try. He treated me dinner in a western restaurant. I do not think the price is cheap, but he said in Guangdong the prices for such a meal are much higher. Well, it seems some local Chinese people are just richer than me!
