Continuing on the theme of female empowerment and positivity sparked by International Women's Day last week, we spoke to Castilian translator, Marina Borrás Ferrá, about her admiration for Women in Localization, why it's important to have role models in the profession and advice for translators looking to kick-start their careers.

At ZOO, we have an incredible team made up in part with creative, intelligent, inspiring and innovative women. While the value of International Women’s Day stretches far beyond recognizing women for a brief moment each year, it’s an excellent chance to feature the stories, advice, and knowledge that these awesome women have to share.

To celebrate International Women’s Day, we want to shine the spotlight on some of the awesome, talented women in our in-house R&D team! These dedicated developers and QA technicians establish and evolve the technology behind our localization and media services.

Building on the success of our remote dubbing services, ZOO has launched a dedicated service line for remote ADR. In recognition of the pandemic-led shift to remote and hybrid solutions, ZOO has created a service to make ADR simpler and more cost effective for the post-pandemic future.

Our localization project managers collaborate with the awesome ZOO community to help share TV and movie content with the world – moving subtitle and adaptation projects from order to translation to delivery. In our latest ZOO Spotlight series, we spoke with LPM, Giulia Puppo, about her passion for language, what it means to be part of this translator community and why she's proud of her work with ZOO.

Team ZOO recently completed a mammoth metadata project to help a world-leading entertainment industry client with a highly anticipated streaming service launch. Tapping into our metadata health check and localization services, the project covered 13 different languages and over 780,000 items of metadata, as ZOO helped ready hundreds of thousands of files for the streaming service’s European launch.
