Join the MyHeritage
Translator Community

Last Sunday, we had our first MyHeritage Volunteer Community meetup.

More than 80 people got together virtually, to connect, hear some great news, and enjoy a good time together.

We also had the honor to hear to the MyHeritage CEO and Founder, Gilad Japhet, who walked us through the story of MyHeritage.

It was very exciting and heart-warming to have you all there, and for those who couldn’t make it, we hope to see you next time.

You can now colorize your black & white family photos automatically, and enhance them bringing blurry faces into sharp focus with the world’s best deep learning technology.

The results will be impressive!

The MyHeritage Genetic Lab has the mission to help fight Coronavirus by analyzing 10,000 virus tests per day; and it is a project conducted in cooperation with the Chinese genetics giant BGI.

We are all together in this fight, and we hope we will win it soon!

We are very happy to announce the launch of our Translator Community Facebook group! A space where all volunteers from all over the world can share ideas, interests, pictures and more. Getting to know each other better is just the beginning 🙂

Can’t wait to see you all there!

Anna, Alexandra and Valentina attended this week the Annual Localization Conference in Israel. We listened to useful and informative lectures which help us to improve the process of localization in MyHeritage. We exchanged interesting ideas with colleagues from other international technology companies, who we share the same localization challenges with. We discussed efficiency processes, guidelines and possible solutions for localization issues.
We can’t wait to share all with you!

In the frame of the MyHeritage LIVE 2019 user conference in Amsterdam, some of our volunteers had the chance to meet and share a nice time together. Valentina, one of our Translation Managers, held a Localization session, where volunteers could learn new concepts, ask questions, share thoughts and, most importantly, enjoy together!

Shall this meetup be one of many more!

Our Translation Project Manager, Livia, held a localization session during the 2018 MyHeritage User Conference in Oslo. The presentation was rich with news on the innovations shaping the brand, the foundations of the Translation team, and the breadth of work by a diverse team of translators — 42 languages and counting.

With over 400 participants across the world, LocWorld is the leading conference for international business, translation, localization and global website management. Anna, the MyHeritage Translation Team Lead, discussed procedures and workflow solutions for multilingual support. The conference offered an exciting opportunity for thought-leaders to exchange insights on translation services, localization efforts, and AI’s role in it all.

We arranged the first meet and greet with our translators at the annual 2018 MyHeritage User Conference in Oslo. Translators across Europe met to exchange their ideas about the translation process and internal insights. After much success, MyHeritage has decided to explore collaborative meetups in the future.

To enrich our community and improve our translations, we have opened eleven language-specific forums where translators can brainstorm together. Stay tuned… our 12th forum is coming soon!

The Translation Managers are busy preparing holiday gifts for all MyHeritage volunteer translators! As they do every year, they got together to wrap gifts and get ready to send them off to the valued community members around the world.
Happy holidays!

Finnish translator Annikka Heikura, visited our headquarters in Israel this past February. She has been a leading translator in our community since 2012. The Translation Managers showed her around town, touring and dining. It was great to catch up in person and a great time was had by all!
