This document discusses how agile development practices can be applied to software localization and content translation to build bridges between rapid software development and high translation quality. It defines key terms like agile, localization, and single-sourcing. It also outlines benefits like reduced costs and time to market through techniques like translating content in batches per sprint and shipping all language versions simultaneously. Challenges covered include linguistic issues, quality assurance, and cultural adaptations needed for different languages and regions. The document provides examples and resources for combining agile and localization best practices.
Translation Markup Language and Universal Translation MemoryMichael Berkovich
Today’s web and mobile app localization industry relies on numerous standards, libraries and file formats to facilitate the exchange between developers and translators. While some formats are somewhat sophisticated, others lack even the most fundamental features, like pluralization and contextualization. And most can’t offer support for more advanced localization features, like language cases.
The most common formats used today include Gettext PO, Android XML, YAML, .Net RESX, iOS Strings. Those standards are typically packaged with popular frameworks and in some cases leave the developer with no choice but to use them. A typical developer today works with many frameworks - for instance a Rails backend app (YAML) with Ember front end (i18n JS) and iOS mobile app (Strings). Since all standards have distinct syntax - in many cases translations cannot be shared across applications.
Translation Markup Language (TML) aims to solve both these problems by introducing a powerful extensible cross-platform syntax that offers support for pluralization, language contextualization, language cases, reusable decorators and much more. TML libraries are available for all major web and mobile platforms. TML allows translators to do in-context translations - where they can translate right from within the apps. TML libraries also eliminate the need for developers to ever deal with the resource files, as all extractions and translation substitution is done realtime and the resource files are only used as a transport between the apps and the Translation Exchange platform.
Translation Exchange stores all translations in Universal Translation Memory (UTM), a graph database which stores all translations with their context, tone, rank and other attributes for accurate matching. This allows translations to be shared across all apps in the Translation Exchange Network. The translation memories of each app are extracted from the UTM graph and are managed by their individual localization teams.
During this presentation we will look at some of the features of TML and how it can be used to quickly translate an app into a number of language using in-context translation tools. We will also look at how the data is stored and shared across applications using UTM.

Bringing linguistic QA to the cloud - Vassilis Korkas (lexiQA)Vassilis Korkas
The rapid evolution of online translation and localization environments in recent years has outpaced the provision of technology dedicated to quality assurance. It has also highlighted a number of problems in the solutions so far available for QA, such as the inability to integrate in the cloud and the need for time to decipher error reports (thus paving the way for inadequate practices, like sampling and spot-checking). lexiQA’s solution is here to provide reliable linguistic QA in continuous delivery scenarios (both in-translation and in post-translation), where speed, accuracy and clarity are critical to a number of different use cases.

DEVNET-1125 Partner Case Study - “Project Hybrid Engineer”Cisco DevNet
Programming and API knowledge are common themes across SDN and “Open”. As we focus more on software, we will see a proliferation of APIs and a need to understand programming. An effective _hybrid_ engineer tomorrow will have both solid networking skills as well as an understanding of programmatic concepts. Keeping these technology and industry transitions in mind, Cisco Americas Partners Organization (APO) kicked off “Project Hybrid Engineer” this summer for Cisco Partners SEs with a focus on enhancing hands-on network programmability knowledge. This session highlights some of the key initiatives underway where APO is taking its experiences and enabling key Cisco Partners workforce for Cisco's Network Programmability solutions early on in the lifecycle. If you are a Cisco Partner, come and learn how you can benefit from “Project Hybrid Engineer” and get your workforce ready for this key technology transition.
DevOps Friendly Doc Publishing for APIs & MicroservicesSonatype
Mandy Whaley, CISCO
Microservices create an explosion of internal and external APIs. These APIs need great docs. Many organizations end up with a jungle of wiki pages, swagger docs and api consoles, and maybe just a few secret documents trapped in chat room somewhere… Keeping docs updated and in sync with code can be a challenge.
We’ve been working on a project at Cisco DevNet to help solve this problem for engineering teams across Cisco. The goal is to create a forward looking developer and API doc publishing pipeline that:
Has a developer friendly editing flow
Accepts many API spec formats (Swagger, RAML, etc)
Supports long form documentation in markdown
Is CI/CD pipeline friendly so that code and docs stay in sync
Flexible enough to be used by a wide scope of teams and technologies
We have many interesting lessons learned about tooling and how to solve documentation challenges for internal and external facing APIs. We have found that solving this doc publishing flow is a key component of a building modern infrastructure. This is most definitely a culture + tech + ops + dev story, we look forward to sharing with the DevOps Days community.
Today, there are many companies that are open to the idea of sharing and actively promote Open Source projects.
We, at Neev, not only promote Open Source, but actively utilize Open Source wherever possible in order to increase ROI for customers and decrease time-to-market.
It is the best way to give something back to the community. Neev has, from time-to-time, given back to the Open Source community through contributions that aim to solve critical issues faced by the IT community.
Here are 18 of our innovative Open Source tools.

Keith Schengili-Roberts - DITA Worst PracticesJack Molisani
While people are interested in hearing about successes, we can actually learn more from failure. Not only do we discover what not to do, but also how to avoid the circumstances that led to it. Presenter Keith Schengili-Roberts has seen a lot of good and bad things happen to DITA implementations over the years, and part of his job at IXIASOFT is to investigate what works, what doesn’t, and why. Listen to his stories on the best (worst) DITA practices!
LavaCon 2017 - Developing Your Edge: Getting a Seat at the Customer’s TableJack Molisani
In many businesses, Sales account teams closely guard and regulate contact with customers. I have heard of, and have experienced situations where technical communications staff are refused access to customers unless there is a major issue. Customer engagement is the linchpin to understanding requirements and delivering value. It is the critical factor between celebrating success and wasting cycles. My session explores the idea of getting communications professionals to overcome the trust and perception deficits we often face.
A large part of the problem is the perception of how we communicate and a fear of what we’ll say. This mentality impedes and undermines our value proposition. I’ll share ideas and anecdotes about what can we do to:
LavaCon 2017 - How Modern Analytics Will Turn Your Technical Content Into a R...Jack Molisani
Understanding how product documentation is consumed can fuel your company with data that has the potential to transform operations and impact decisions. To gain this insight, you need to change the way you track and mine the behavior of users when they search, read and interact with your technical content. By combining the latest delivery, text-mining and analytics technologies, you will transform tech content into a sensor and its delivery into a data generator.
After reviewing the flaws of the “old” approaches to content analytics, we will study how to properly capture the interactions of users with content. We will also explore the different levels of value that we can derive from modern delivery, text-mining and analytics. We will see how those new technologies can multiply the value of tech content. And we will learn how tech content can be impactful for many different activities and constituencies of the company, gathering more support and becoming more strategic.
Content moves around. It passes back and forth between authoring, editing, reviewing, and publishing before ever reaching its intended audience. Each touch point creates change, but often that change is elusive or unknown. In regulated industries such as healthcare, aerospace, and pharmaceuticals, proving that you have control over content change is a vital capability. How can you gain and demonstrate that control and how do you present an audit trail of change to the relevant audiences in an appropriate format?
LavaCon 2017 - Much Ado About Templates: Reduce the Learning Curve and Increa...Jack Molisani
How did our team of five information specialists and 100 SMEs, who provide content for a worldwide audience of 3,500 service technicians in a regulated industry, move from Word to XML? We adapted – and used templates! Since we were used to Word templates, it made sense to mimic that for simplicity in training and transition. Templates provide a built-in structure and allow customization of the user experience. Please join us as we expose our experiences with templates in XML.
LavaCon 2017 - Building an Enterprisewide Content Platform—and Why DITA will ...Jack Molisani
Breaking down content silos requires an enterprise-wide strategy that serves a number of distinct departments, creators, reviewers, and consumers. However, an enterprise-wide strategy that requires an enterprise-wide deployment of DITA will very likely fail. DITA simply is not made for ALL the content types and workflows within an organization, which usually span support, marketing, product documentation, legal, and more. In this session, we’ll focus on why an enterprise-wide content strategy is important, alternatives to DITA, and how to get started.
LavaCon 2017 - Take the Risk, Embrace the Change!Jack Molisani
Hoa Aldous has made many difficult choices throughout her life. From escaping Vietnam to opting out of an arranged marriage, she’s had to risk it all on more than one occasion.
In this keynote, Hoa will share her life experiences, how she assessed the risks she’s faced, and that embracing the resulting changes can often lead to the experience you were looking for all along.
LavaCon 2017 - Structured Content Authoring For All!Jack Molisani
Many say “Structured Content Authoring is too complex.” But organizations have no choice: to keep content consistent, findable and manageable, we simply must write and store in a structured format. Semantic tagging, re-use, targeting, conditions, references, all are essential and valuable features that form the essence of Structured Content schemas. If we simply ‘strip complexity’ –for ‘lightweight authoring’- chances are fair that we lose much of this value. The question is: how to make Structured Content Authoring a mainstream activity?
LavaCon 2017 - Building Catwalks Between Silos: Using Taxonomy to Drive Engag...Jack Molisani
While content marketing can improve brand preference, it’s hard to link it to product information directly while maintaining an authentic voice. Conversely, product documentation is perceived as authentic and trustworthy — a potentially powerful marketing asset itself — but can be hard to find and hard work to read. This live use case shows how content marketing can link customers to docs in a relevant, contextual, and scalable way by combining taxonomy and minimalist structured content.
LavaCon 2017 - Getting Dragged Along? Start Charting Your Team’s Course with ...Jack Molisani
To meet the demand for content, do you take a “peanut butter” approach and spread your resources evenly – but thinly – across the whole product? Or do you grease the squeakiest wheel, which means you neglect a wheel that’s more vital to the business? Either way, outside forces dictate how you’ll use your resources. Soon you’ll have a lot of mediocre content that doesn’t represent your team’s value. And that makes it hard to get headcount and funding.
LavaCon 2017 - DITA: Start Small, Grow Big Using Open Source ToolsJack Molisani
You’re considering using DITA and would like to try it out without incurring significant upfront costs, but also keeping your options open longer-term. Where do you start? How will you approach the challenges of content creation, content management, and publishing your content? There are in fact plenty of options. The good news is that XML and DITA are open standards. This has led to a healthy ecosystem with quality commercial and inter-operable open source tools, that do away with vendor lock-in and keep operating costs down. We will discuss the three challenges, show an example of how end-to-end solutions can be built based upon Git and other open source tools. In fact, the result may be better than you’d expect.
LavaCon 2017 - Feed the Goldfish in 19 Minutes and 52 SecondsJack Molisani
Content consumption patterns have dramatically changed over the last decade. The maximum selective sustained attention span of a human being is about 20 minutes. The length of this talk. Latest research shows that the transient attention span of human beings has even gone down from 12 to 8 seconds over the last decade – even a goldfish has a longer attention span.
To communicate technical content in the future successfully, we need to move from drops to drips, deliver smaller content chunks, improve findability and searchability and tailor content to the content consumer’s role and context automatically.
LavaCon 2017 - How UX and Content Can (and Should) Work TogetherJack Molisani
The Farmer and the Cowhand Should Be Friends, or, How UX and Content Can (and Should) Work Together.
Let’s be frank: If UX designers had their way, the only words you’d ever see on the web are lorem ipsum. And yet, words — from interfaces to microcopy to long narratives — are integral to the usability and delight of any web product. Based on his years of UX experience and love of good content, Dylan will talk about ways to bring the two sides together to make better things on the web.
LavaCon 2017 - Implementing a Customer-driven Transition to DITA Content: A S...Jack Molisani
When customer expectations uproot your documentation processes and PDF content offering, how do you mobilize a team that has used the same tools and processes to create book-based, unstructured content for over two decades? When new demands drive the change for structured content to support a myriad of users and multi-channel publishing, the logical choice is a DITA workflow.
Join Ciena, The Content Era and Adobe Tech Comm at LavaCon 2017 Portland for an immersive workshop that highlights how a DITA workflow is possible with familiar tools, a modest budget, and creative handling of the content.
LavaCon 2017 - Evolving the New Content OrderJack Molisani
We are at a critical moment in history, with knowledge bursting at the seams of our organizations. Many of us still struggle to manage numerous modes of omnichannel content engagement: published, interactive, and automated. The solution requires vision to move towards a new order of content intelligence encompassing our organization’s entire knowledge graph. It requires spanning silos, especially between marcomm and techcomm. Join Cruce Saunders as he explores the new content stack, and how to future proof content assets to meet the demands of ever-evolving customer experiences.
LavaCon 2017 - Managing Stakeholders Across the Content Ecosystem: The Key to...Jack Molisani
Trying to implement an content strategy that supports your customers across their entire journey–or even just sell the idea to decision makers? Having problems getting it to fly? More than any other single aspect, stakeholder management is critical to getting support for and implementing a unified content strategy (or ANY project, for that matter). You need to understand THEIR needs and ensure that you’re communicating continually to quiet objections and move your project forward. And it’s not always easy–especially when you’re leading initiatives across silos and teams with no direct authority. Influencing those stakeholders is key!
In this session, Andrea will discuss the success factors to aim for, and the behaviors that can trip you up, when managing stakeholders to successfully support your clients, solve business problems, and drive revenue and customer loyalty!
LavaCon 2017 - Future-proof Your Content: Beyond Traditional Publishing for S...Jack Molisani
This session delineates why the most common publishing methods in today’s technical space cannot survive into the middle of the next decade. Tools and methodologies are required that are scalable for vast increases of “atomic” content and to dozens of more language targets. Discover what the minimum ingredients are for survival in terms of tools, workflows and content strategies.
LavaCon 2017 - Silos. (And other concepts that make us average)Jack Molisani
Content crosses silos, giving content developers a unique perspective of the good, the bad, and the ugly. Years of experience leads to insight, but can also paralyze innovative ideas.
Has your experience given you tribal knowledge and wisdom, or preconceived notions that are no longer true or helpful?
In this keynote, Megan Gilhooly discusses new ways of thinking that challenge common business trends. She will provide examples highlighting how your ability to think critically and your passion for forging new trends can help you throughout your content career.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

content: UI text and documentation
• Hybrid: Between waterfall (handoff) and agile (incremental):
Batches
• Other approaches: n-1 (translating previous content); tiered
languages, SLA with LSP

13. Software Internationalization
• Take the text out of the code
• Create external “locale” files for localization
• Create file structure for software to “switch” locales
• Make translatable strings
• Don’t concatenate strings – make complete strings
• Avoid variables if possible (within sentences)
• Allow for text expansion in GUI screens
• Link – Verknüpfung
• Login – Anmeldung
13
14. Content for Localization
• Glossary: consistency of terminology
• Software UI text: clean and concise; allow room for
expansion
• English (source) content: write for translation
• Single-sourcing documentation: make use of variables
and conditionals – carefully
14
15. Content: Single-Sourcing
Single-Sourcing: Use of a single document or set of files
to produce multiple variations in the output.
Single-Sourcing can
repurpose content across
the organization.
15
19. Localization Challenges
• Linguistic – grammar differences
• Formatting – screen size (software), paper size
(documentation)
• Quality
• Linguistic QA Ideally, need in-country review
• Timing
• Cultural and legal issues
• Process
19
20. Linguistic Issues
Common to Software and Content
• Don’t use variables for common words.
• Don’t concatenate strings (using variables):
• <subject> + <verb> + <object> doesn’t work in languages that have
the verb at the end (German, Japanese)
• <adjective> <noun> doesn’t work in Romance languages; word order,
number/gender agreement
Example – English:
• “The <device/machine> should be plugged in. Then, turn it on.”
French:
• L’appareil doit être branché. Puis, allumez-le.
• La machine doit être branchée. Puis, allumez-la.

21. Benefits of Agile Localization
• Rapid time to market
• Continual improvements in translation quality
• Cost is spread over time
• Linguists become SMEs in your product
21
22. Agile Localization Process
• Hybrid: Between Agile and Waterfall
• Finalize source text
• Larger batches to translate
• Service Level Agreement (SLA) with Language Services
Provider (LSP) for lots of quick turnarounds
22
24. N-1 or SimShip?
24
• N-minus-1 (or more): Localize
content of previous Sprint
• SimShip: Ship all languages
simultaneously
• Later cycles:
• Documentation
• Rich content (multimedia)
• Tiered languages
25. SimShip
