It may come as a surprise to some, but I have never given a talk entirely in English. Yes, I have been in hundreds of meetings in that language, I have been on stage to speak to hundreds (or thousands?) of people with my santoñés-pontevedrés accent, I have presented a startup in front of a Microsoft jury and I have even done practical workshops or recordings on "how to do X or Y" for people with whom I had this language in common.
But a talk, just as it sounds, no. Until today.
And it had been recorded since last Thursday (and the story of the recording is worth telling over a few beers). But as it was approaching six o'clock today I was even nervous. Not having to get on any stage or anything. Just logging into a Slack in case anyone had any questions.
Soon I will write in the blog a summary of what I told you, because for sure we can learn something about mistakes when localizing online stores in other markets/countries/languages (it is not enough just to translate the texts, no).
Incredible work by Brian Richards of WooSesh from the first moment, I would like to highlight that. You can tell he has a lot of experience organizing these events and for the speaker it is great that they give you everything so well explained and are always there for any questions or problems that arise.
You can still catch the recordings if you are interested in e-commerce because there have been very top talks. And if you go to the Weglot sponsor page you can download a very complete ebook about best practices for translating your website and a good discount.
