Do you ever wonder why

• The cost of localization is high and the time it takes so long?
• Localization vendors talk about the need for project management, localization engineering, translation, editing, proofreading (TEP), but also ask/require the client to "help" at several phases of the project life cycle (glossary, QA, final review, sampling, etc.)?
• Localization vendors charge more than double their cost for translation, yet still have trouble making a profit?

• Are all the layers employed in the production process absolutely necessary?
• Can some of the layers be removed without impacting the quality of the output?
• Should the client do more for the vendor to charge less?
• How much investment should the client make in order to cut costs and how long should they have to wait before seeing a positive return on their investment?
