OOONA Launches OnStage: A Free Archive for Media Localization Professionals
OOONA, a leading provider of professional management and production tools for the media localization industry, announces the launch of On Stage, a free-to-access archive of presentations, research and related contributions shared by professionals in the media localization field.
Hosted on OOONA EDU, On Stage is designed to serve as a knowledge-sharing hub for media localization professionals. It provides a platform for such experts to showcase their work, including white papers, case studies, presentations from industry events, journal articles and videos, making them accessible to the media community at its widest.
The inspiration for On Stage came from the November 13th-15th 2024 Languages & The Media conference in Budapest where professionals and academics from around the world presented their latest research and analyses of media localization practices.
“There is so much work presented at industry events which merits being made more easily discoverable,” says Wayne Garb, OOONA co-founder and CEO, emphasizing the need for greater accessibility to the research in the field.
“By making these valuable resources widely available, On Stage will enable professionals, educators, researchers and newcomers to the industry to stay informed and engaged. Sharing knowledge is key to driving the evolution of media localization. With On Stage, we are creating a space where industry professionals can contribute their expertise and help shape the future of the field.”
“The media localization industry is undergoing a rapid transformation,” adds Jorge Díaz-Cintas, Professor of Translation Studies at University College London. “Fostering collaboration and exchanging insights have become more important than ever.”
Media localization professionals are invited to contribute their work and amplify their impact within the global community. Visit OnStage (https://www.ooona.net/onstage/) to explore the archive or submit your publication. No registration is required.
