Rouen, France -- Inttranews (www.inttranews.net), the global wire service for linguists, has been syndicated by the Globalization and Localization Association (GALA), a fully representative, non-profit, international industry association for the translation, internationalization, localization, and globalization industry. The association gives members a common forum to discuss issues, create innovative solutions, promote the industry, and present a joint - and more powerful - voice within the industry and to the outside community.

GALA was created in 2002 by 15 localization companies from 12 countries on four continents. Today, GALA reflects the composition of the internationalization, localization, and globalization industry, which is made up of thousands of companies all over the world providing a wide range of products and services.
