There are two levels of Globalization and Localization Association membership: full membership and affiliate membership.
Full membership in GALA is open to any legally constituted company providing either translation, internationalization, globalization, and/or localization products or services, or any combination of those services, including tools developers, training suppliers, and consultancies.
Affiliate membership is open to any company or organization interested or involved in global business. This membership level is for end-user companies that have in-house localization departments or that work with the language technology services and supplier community. This membership level is also for academic institutions and other non-supplier organizations that have an interest in globalization and localization. Affiliate membership is not open to companies that sell localization services, products, tools, or consulting (companies providing services, products, tools, or consulting should become full members). Affiliate membership is a non-voting membership, and representatives of affiliate members are not able to run for or serve on the GALA Board of Directors.
