We wrote Move the World with Words to put a spotlight on the human element of global commerce that is Smartling's connection with the world: translators.

The book illuminates the lives of 12 Smartling translators. It’s absolutely gorgeous (that's the cover ☝️) and we can’t wait for you to flip through the pages.

Need another reason? Here's a little praise for the book from Jon Ferm, Localization Program Manager at Pinterest: "We often focus on technology in the localization industry. Translators are the true rockstars, and belong in the spotlight as they are in Move the World with Words."
