Effective Localization Project Handoff Management with Yusuke Kirimoto:
Description: In Olympic relay racing, the difference between first and
second place in the sprint relays is usually measured in tenths or
hundredths of a second. Therefore, precise execution of the "handoff" is
paramount to success. Project handoffs in localization carry the same
consequences as global companies sprint to maintain global market
leadership. Localization projects require the coordination of myriad
combinations of professionals and technologies facing complex
linguistic, cultural, content, and technical challenges.

Another place to bone up quickly: There's a company called Enlaso that
does 
translations. They recently did a Webcast called Translation 101 in
which 
they went over all the basics. I think they have that Webcast stored on 
their website. I found it tremendously helpful just in getting a broad 
overview of things to think about, what to look out for, what's
involved, 
etc etc etc.
