// who we are
We started in the 1990s localizing software for Apple. We have been working together on the same problem ever since.
LocalVersion was founded in 2003 by Toni Rovira and Eduard Simón. 50+ core team members. 150+ native experts in 45 countries. Eduard teaches computational linguistics at the UAB. Toni has coordinated localization for some of the most demanding software companies in the world. We read papers. We teach at universities. We argue about whether a model can be said to understand anything.
