His professional career revolves around the Translation \u0026amp; Localization Industry for more than 17 years. Petro started out as a young inexperienced translator and, after years of hard work and persistence, ended up with his last in-house position being that of Translation \u0026amp; Software Localization Director. Translation and software localization are his core specialties, having translated or project managed numerous projects for Microsoft, IBM\/Lotus, Adobe, Symantec, GE Energy, Caterpillar, Toshiba, LaCie, Canon, Sony, Nokia, Bosch, Siemens, just to mention a few. Lately, he is freelancing and providing translation \u0026amp; localization consulting to companies within the industry (i.e., translation agencies), and to corporations in need of internal or external translation\/localization services (i.e., international firms with overseas branch offices, software companies and so on). Petro is also actively involved in helping out translators\/localizers, especially with their translation software tools and daily business operation. A considerable effort in this area is pro bono. Seeing a lack of an online solution to such issues, he also set up a website to deal with them: http: \/\/www.translators-tech-help.com.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 146\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.31 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 03, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47327215354105,"sku":"9781515317876","price":27.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/MXZuQkhQdll2aEJzOSt6RkRsL3hMQT09.webp?v=1769577835","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/translation-101-starting-out-as-a-translator-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
