My OperaMy almost first post

This is my first blog post about localization, so bear with me.
Opera has quite a legacy when it comes to i18n, sporting over 40 languages for the Opera browser, and over 90 for Opera Mini.
I've dabbled in translation and localization for nearly a decade, and now it is my job here at Opera. I work as a localization coordinator, which I believe is a pretty accurate description of my job.
I coordinate translations, which means that I act as a liaison between our translators and our development and marketing departments here at Opera. I also make efforts towards internationalization and localization here at Opera, maintaining applications and processes.
I'm also the project lead on the Community-Driven Localization (CDL) project here at Opera. This project works with volunteers to provide translations for Opera's services, due to be launched in the very near future.
That's about it, I reckon. I will post more when there is news to be read ;-)
