Unions and Associations
Localization specialists do not belong to unions. Some join professional associations such as the American Translators Association (ATA), Editorial Freelancers Association, and Women in Localization. These organizations provide continuing education classes, networking events, and other resources. The ATA offers divisions that allow members with the same interests (e.g., audiovisual, literary, expertise in a specific language) to network. The Globalization and Localization Association is a membership organization for translation companies that also provides other language services and language-related technologies.
