Projects
Service localisation project Fictional internal work programme in editorial work, research, publishing and language services; not a real client case study.

Applied terminology management and editing while coordinating reviews with the designated owner. Kept decision notes so collaborators could separate facts, assumptions and changes. Assembled the handover material, explained open limitations and agreed which items needed further review rather than presenting them as completed. Methods: translation; terminology management; editing; localisation Deliverables: Service localisation project - scoped brief; Service localisation project - reviewed working package; Service localisation project - handover and learning summary Review: Reviewed the scoped output against the agreed brief, recorded exceptions and checked that key conclusions could be traced to observations.
