I can’t think of many educators in the localization industry who are as qualified, meticulous, and patient as Jan Grodecki. As a key member of the Solutions Team at Moravia, Jan’s worked on many complex and demanding proposals with me over the years. We’ve also had the opportunity to learn not just how to solve the multidimensional challenges in internationalization, but, as importantly, how to communicate technical issues clearly and concisely. Jan’s many years of experience as an educator paired with his deep knowledge of localization engineering makes this crash course in the foundations of internationalization worth consideration for anyone interested in leveling up their i81n skill set!

Participating in Jan Grodecki’s course on ‘The ReadySetGo: Internationalization in the Times of AI’ was a deeply enriching experience. Jan’s meticulous and precise approach to teaching complex technical subjects made the concepts of i18n and localization more accessible and engaging. The unique integration of live coding sessions brought a practical aspect to theoretical knowledge, setting this course apart from others. The comprehensive and well-structured curriculum ensured that every minute was impactful and enriched our understanding of global software practices. I highly recommend this course to professionals seeking to deepen their expertise in internationalization within the context of AI advancements.
