Collaboration & project cadence

Your PM owns timeline, risk and change control, coordinating linguists, reviewers and DTP/engineering support. For recurring or serial needs we recommend glossary and TM reuse, with milestone-based handovers for internal and external release.

  • Terminology & assets: Build product glossary and pseudo-l10n or length-note rules.
