About Webinar

Welcome to G11n ^AI, a premier live webinar series hosted by Fidel Softech. In an era where software deployment is rapid and agile, traditional localization methods have often become a bottleneck. We explore the “Power Factor”—how AI-driven engineering and a growth mindset transform globalization from a linear process into an exponential one. This series brings together industry leaders and LangTech experts to discuss the shift from legacy workflows to cutting-edge, AI-enabled solutions.

We will dive deep into how Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the globalization of software across languages, markets, and cultures. From AI-driven content adaptation and automated testing to intelligent quality assurance, participants will gain insights into how AI enables faster global releases and scalable personalization while significantly reducing time-to-market. We will also address the critical balance of governance, ethics, and “human-in-the-loop” models to ensure accuracy, inclusivity, and brand consistency.

In this webinar discussion, we’ll cover:

  • The Exponential Shift: How AI is moving globalization from a post-production task to an engineering-first strategy.
  • The AI Multiplier: The role of AI in machine translation, multilingual UX, and automated quality assurance.
  • Scale Without Friction: Strategies for automating localization workflows and testing to eliminate technical debt.
  • Human-Machine Synergy: Balancing automation with human expertise for cultural relevance and ethical governance.
  • Global Readiness: Real-world use cases and best practices for scaling software globally at the speed of AI.
