Slator’s Mission

The translation, language technology, and document outsourcing markets are large, complex, and fast changing. From transcreation to crowdsourcing and machine translation. From workflow and productivity tools to website translation proxies and SaaS. From global marketing content to technical documentation. The markets for converting content from one language to another are fascinating. And they are growing rapidly. We decipher this highly fragmented sector where companies merge, acquire competitors, and develop new technologies. We break news and provide insight on the latest private equity and venture capital investments. We cover startup launches, funding, technology disruption, and talent moves. Slator’s mission is to help our audience make business sense out of this rapid change.
