The role of a localisation project manager
A localisation project manager connects language work with the people, files, technical requirements and decisions needed for delivery. The role begins with a clear brief, not simply a list of words to translate.
Clarify scope and responsibilities
Identify the target audience, languages, content types, delivery formats and deadline. Agree who supplies terminology, answers questions and approves the final material. Record assumptions and exclusions so that extra requests can be assessed against the agreed scope.
Coordinate the working files
Use a controlled source version and an agreed place for questions. Keep file names and delivery references consistent. If the source changes, identify the affected translations and checks before replacing an approved file; a newer date alone does not establish a completed review.
Confirm the review and handover
Agree which linguistic, layout and functional checks are included. For digital interfaces, review the text in context rather than relying only on a spreadsheet. Deliver the approved files with clear notes about the revision, open questions and any follow-up work.
