I feel great! I just submitted the final files for my first website localization project. The project was simple, the site was small, but the experience was priceless.
In this project I played the role of localization engineer. I really enjoyed playing with the code, organizing the files, and troubleshooting problems. I learn best by doing, and I significantly increased my understanding of html and css during this project. I also got to work through some very basic encoding issues, since the target languages were Simplified and Traditional Chinese. My team was also great, and everyone completed their assigned tasks on time or early.
Aside from the technical experience, I learned that I really enjoy this process, so I must be in the right field of study!
