Whether you’re building a translation strategy from scratch, want to start a career in translation or are just curious about tech, we want for you to find the answers you need on the Gengo blog. Our most popular posts from 2014 span all categories, and we’ve gathered them here for you to enjoy all over again.

1. Go at Gengo

In between building new features for all of our users, we take time to improve our tools and processes to make Gengo faster and easier to use from the inside out. One of our developers shares in this post how we’ve rebuilt several of our services using Go, one of our favorite programming languages.

2. Getting digital: Three things to consider when marketing in Japan

When marketing overseas, your approach should be deeply targeted for each country. With a foot in both the United States and Japan, we know that there are some important differences between doing marketing in the two places and shared our ideas in this post.

3. Gengo-dō: How to build an international team

Gengo-dō is our series dedicated to company culture. Building a company takes work, and splitting your team across several continents is a special challenge. In this post, we shared how we make it work.

4. Olé, Olé, Olé! A World Cup infographic

2014 was the year of the World Cup. Being a global team, we wanted to tell the story of the tournament’s top twelve countries, in all nine of their major languages. Our World Cup infographic explores the history of these countries through fun historical facts, making it as fun a read this year as it was last.

5. Open Data: Gengo by the numbers

Transparency in the translation industry is rare. Last summer, we launched our Open Data project, which shares real metrics around our translation speed, quality, capacity and more. We’re the first translation company of our kind to showcase this unique data, and we’ll continue to update it regularly throughout 2015 and beyond here.

6. Explore the business cultures of the world

After experiencing our own moments of doubt and discomfort around the unwritten rules of doing business overseas, we decided to build a guide so that you wouldn’t have to, packing in advice around etiquette and norms for 15 different countries in English, Spanish and Japanese. Bookmark the guide on your phone or tablet before jetting off in the new year and arrive prepared.

Keep your eye out for more great content in 2015, and let us know if there’s anything you’d love for us to cover in the comments. Happy New Year!
