At Lokalise, we wanted to explore a question that resonates with nearly every modern professional: How much personal time are we sacrificing because of inefficient workflows? We also wondered how much people could get back by using AI-powered tools at work. To find out, we surveyed 1,001 full-time employees working in highly technical roles across the U.S. and Europe. From developers and data scientists to product managers and designers, respondents shared candid insights about their wo
Global expansion brings massive opportunity and equally massive complexity. Content piles up across teams. Translation costs climb. Delivery slows. It’s no wonder that many localization programs stall before they scale. But some companies are doing it differently.

But when 👀 and 🤔 mean different things to different people, it’s easy for well-meaning messages to get misunderstood. To explore how emoji meanings shift across borders, platforms, and generations, we surveyed over 1,000 employees and consumers from the U.S., the U.K., Germany, and Mexico. What we found was that cultural localization isn’t just for product pages and ad campaigns. It
What do Disney, Starbucks, Walmart, Coca-Cola, and eBay have in common? They all stumbled when expanding globally. Despite their huge success in their home market, these companies learned the hard way that what works in one country doesn’t automatically translate to another. As someone with a PhD in behavioral science and psychology, I’ve seen this pattern repeat itself countless times. What’s behind global expansion fails? A lack of proper research before ente
