What People Say About Nimdzi

The workshop was indeed super valuable. Miguel has helped us a lot to understand how to measure our impact, what are the limits in isolating localization efforts and how to communicate it.
Emilia Porfiri
Localization Director at Bitso
Communica has had a Nimdzi subscription for one year, and in that time, we have managed to achieved all our target set at the beginning of the year - I am happy to say we have had a successful year.
Tina Julsgaard
CEO at Comunica.dk Translation
The process of bringing everybody into the conversation rather than just a leadership team to talk about it has been extremely helpful because things came up that I wouldn't necessarily have thought of myself.
Stephen Lank
VP Translation Services at Cesco Linguistic Services, Inc.
I just want to say you are awesome! Thank you for all your hard work Istvan.
Marta Kobus
Translation Team Leader at Schneider Electric
I can tell that I had a pretty good knowledge of the market and what goes on, but the consultants were very thorough in their analysis and their proposals. I must confess that past experiences with consultancies had not been excellent. But here I discovered serious added value. Well, who says added value, says added cost. But I can say it was money well spent.
Josep Bonet
Director of the Language, Documentation and Information Management Division at World Trade Organization
Just a quick note to thank you for your fantastic workshop! I can tell you, people can't stop raving about what you taught today! Your style along with the high-quality materials are simply awesome. It was so great to have 50+ folks in the live audience. I can't wait to share the recording and the deck with an ever wider audience. International is a top priority for Smartsheet this year. I'm so glad you were able to help me set this journey up for success. Can't wait for the next workshop.
Carsten Kneip
Director of Localization at Smartsheet
