We recently received the following email:

Last year, localization professionals of different backgrounds and from different companies got together to revive the certificate in localization. The program is part of the University of Washington Extension and was revived, because the market demand for localization engineers and PMs could not be met in the Puget Sound.

Over the past few months, we have seen a growing number of initiatives such as this one. Associations and universities are expanding existing programs and starting brand-new ones.

For translation and localization professionals, there now exist a large variety of education opportunities that range from

• Short-term courses, such as TILP's Certified Localisation Professional program, to
• Certificate programs, like University of Washington's Certificate in Localization, and
• Master's degrees in translation (the EU's EMT network offers extensive choices).

For a more extensive list of training resources, check out the extensive list compiled by the Northwest Translators and Interpreters Society.
