About the LocData Project
The LocData project is a crowdsourcing project of the Translation and Localization Management program at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey. It strives to support research and communication in the localization and translation industry by compiling geographical data about locations involved in localization work. The collected data includes educational programs, technology centers, professional organizations, and research firms.
