About Memrise
We learn best when we’re enjoying whatever we’re engaging with — and Memrise is a language learning app that aims to make learning enjoyable and effective! They uphold the belief that learning a language should not only stimulate intellectually but also biologically, with the rush of endorphins you get by learning something new.
Founded in 2010, Memrise provides rich, real-life language content to over 65 million people in 189 countries around the world. For this lesson in localization, Nimdzi spoke with Kasia Bania, the senior localization manager at Memrise.
TL;DR
A multicultural team working together in one location allows the company to understand the importance of localization.
Working with linguists with a marketing background helps ensure that content is relevant for all age groups.
