The online Master of Arts in Translation and Localization Management is designed to focus on two key areas of training: localization technology and management.

Employers across this rapidly growing industry rely on the Middlebury Institute as their go-to source for finding localization management talent. To meet this need, we have created an advanced-entry online degree.

You’ll learn the software applications that enable localization, gain the skills to manage complex projects with virtual teams, develop lifelong employability, and be exposed to the real-world experience of working in a translation agency for actual clients.
