About Bitso
Founded in 2014, Bitso was Mexico’s first cryptocurrency exchange, facilitating the transfer of Bitcoin, pesos, and US dollars. The company now handles an additional 28 cryptocurrencies and is growing rapidly: after amassing one million users over six years, Bitso has quadrupled its member base within the past 24 months. In addition to its popularity in Mexico, the company operates in Argentina, Brazil, and El Salvador, and is planning to launch in Colombia within the next month.
TL;DR
Design-stage localization workflow fully implemented: true integration of product design and localization, with teams that work collaboratively from beginning to end.
A hyperlocalization approach for all locales means partial translation is never an option.
Close relationships between internal team members and external vendors promote an efficient supply chain and high-quality translations.
