Hi!

This summer I would like to spend some weeks (up to 4) in USA to attend a localization course. Do you know any serious summer course? I already have some experience in localization, therefore I am not looking for a course for beginners.
Do you have any ideas or links?

Thanks!

Beatrice

BTW, Limerick is associated with Austin.
Best luck ▲ Collapse

Thanks! Jul 21, 2004

The localization course is more an excuse than a real necessity.
The courses held in Austin are very interesting, but I have already been there, so I'd rather choose another city.
Any courses in California? The ideal solution is: morning at school, afternoon on the beach!
Thanks again
