About The AI-Ready Localizer

Where words, markets, and technology collide

Most people think of localization as “translation.” But if you’ve ever tried to scale a product, manage multilingual content, or launch globally, you know it’s so much more.

This Substack is where I break down the systems, strategies, and tools that make global communication actually work—at speed, at scale, and with quality.

What you’ll get here

  • Localization systems that scale: smarter Translation Memories, glossaries, and governance workflows.

  • AI & automation for L10N: experiments, tool reviews, and practical workflows using LLMs for QA, content creation, and sanity checks.

  • Internationalization best practices: design, product, and engineering tips for going global without the costly rework.

  • Terminology & strategy: building multilingual termbases that teams actually use.

  • Step-by-step tutorials: from LLM-powered QA bots to hands-on TM validation workflows.

  • Global GTM insights: how localization and cultural nuance make or break international launches.

  • Weekend explorations: the linguistics and language-learning side of things—why words matter and how we absorb them.

Why me?

I’m Julia Díez, a localization + internationalization strategist with nearly 20 years of experience. I’ve built language systems, led global content strategies, and studied how AI + data science can unlock the next level of quality and scale.

I don’t just write theory—I share what actually works (and what doesn’t).

  • Localization managers, language leads & translators

  • Content professionals & terminologists

  • Product managers & engineers building global-ready products
