Our February Issue is here!
Language Industry Influencers: https://buff.ly/42RbzAR
Do you remember the first time you listened to a presentation or read an op-ed and thought to yourself, “I like the cut of this person’s gib”? Whether it happened at school, at a conference, in a periodical, or online, you experienced the power of influence. And that’s what this issue of MultiLingual magazine is all about.
As an elder Millennial with both feet planted in middle age, I experienced influencers primarily through social media — first as a teenager on MySpace, then on Facebook, and finally on Twitter (now X), which I was required to use for journalism school. Along the way, I found innumerable YouTubers with fresh, fascinating takes on history, civics, entertainment, and culture.
I had no idea then how widespread the phenomenon would become. Influencers are now a staple of every industry and activity imaginable, and they certainly live up to their branding. I think most would acknowledge their thinking has been shaped to one degree or another by the people they follow online.
That applies to the language industry as much as any other line of work. And there’s perhaps no better indicator of their dominance than this month’s MultiLingual magazine. An annual fixture of our publication, MultiLingual’s influencer feature centers on the biggest movers and shakers we’ve noticed in the past year. Some built their following on social media, while others found prominence through their industry presence. Either way, they all share a common talent to communicate and capture attention. And in the modern era, that’s a powerful skill indeed.
We hope that the insights they share inspire you in your own professional journey. Who knows? Their thoughts and ideas could plant the seed to spread a little influence of your own.

Global Templates The Key to Worldwide Succes.mp4
"Global success starts with a strong foundation". With this line, John Yunker explores how global templates have shaped the scalability of web globalization, using Philips and Amazon as key examples. Despite evolving over decades, their core design structures have remained consistent, proving that standardization enables seamless global expansion while allowing local flexibility.
He explains that while some companies used to believe each market needed a unique design, this approach often led to inefficiencies. Standardized global templates reduce friction, minimize costs, and ensure seamless scalability across multiple markets.

Welcome to 2025! The holidays are over, and hopefully you’ve had the chance to spend them with people you love. As we emerge from the food comas and consider timelines for taking down the decorations, a thought lurks in the back of our minds: doing our jobs for another year to the best of our abilities.
MultiLingual magazine’s first issue of the year puts jobs and careers in the spotlight. It’s a topic worth contemplation, considering all the changes we’ve been reckoning with over the past few years. Not only has artificial intelligence (AI) transformed our professional lives, but remote work has also become the norm. Who can believe it was only five years ago that 2020 dawned, bringing with it a global pandemic months later?
Work from home is now a permanent feature for many — particularly in language work, when teams are often scattered across the globe. This month, we examine the home office arrangement five years later to learn how it’s changed our lives. Additionally, this issue investigates the changing roles for linguists as we enter another year of AI development and integration.
This new year may well prove as transformative as its predecessor. But while times and technologies change, the fundamental satisfaction of a job well done remains the same — so let’s all aspire to make the most of 2025. Cheers!
