"Large localization agency, but with a boutique-agency feel."

4/5

Describe the project or task BLEND Localization helped with:

While forming a localization strategy for a brand, I had a need to create a close and customized team that would act like an in-house team. BLEND was my go-to place for any insights on the local markets that we couldn't support in-house. BLEND allowed me to profile and pick their translators according to my needs and to develop close bond relationships with every one of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BLEND Localization?

Delivery quality, responsiveness, creative approach, out-of-the-box approach. BLEND can support different kinds of services from SEO/ medical/ legal and other translations and that support often comes in a single translator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BLEND Localization?

Sometimes I am overwhelmed by translators' inquiries while performing certain tasks and I have to oversee too many things at once across too many languages at once. But, when we started creating a dedicated team, the goal was to teach them all the things I know inside the brand, so I see all those questions as their learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BLEND Localization solving and how is that benefiting you?

Anything that we cannot support in-house. We don't have any localizations experts besides me, so BLEND makes most decisions and consulting, from shaping words in a locally appropriate manner and covering the defect of not having human in-house resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4/5

Describe the project or task BLEND Localization helped with:

We mainly work with Blend on product and marketing content localization, and recently also started working with their voiceover studio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BLEND Localization?

Having a dedicated team that is trained on our content, and the straightforward communications with our product managers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BLEND Localization solving and how is that benefiting you?

Blend is a single provider for our localization needs. One of the biggest problems we were able to solve with Blend is voiceover localization - the studio is professional, being able to join the recording sessions makes the usual back-and-forth communications much smoother.
