About Michal
Michal Tosza started localizing CAD software in 2005. From the very beginning of his work he developed a love-hate relationship with Trados that later one turned to love-love relationship with other CAT tools.
New technologies and software were always a must and a beloved choice for him. Apart from all sorts of video and tabletop games’ localizations, since 2009 he has been teaching at universities. His latest project is FreeIndieL10N – a pro bono initiative for game developers who struggle with localization tasks.
In this episode you will learn:
- How you can benefit from offering your services free of charge;
- How to find the time for pro bono work;
- How working for free can help you find new clients;
…and much more!
