Our History

PhilLocalize was founded in the Philippines in 2006, by Kari and Ria Holmgeirsson, both linguists, Kari being an Expert in Computer Science and Ria holding a license in Engineering. We, as a team, operated in the outsourcing business in the Philippines, working for global players such as IBM and Virgin Group of Companies. It is in this multicultural environment that we laid the foundation of our business. Today, we have helped localize well-known internet browsers, operating systems, software, drivers, and webpages, as well as many other smaller documents, reaching a quantity of well over 3,000,000 words.
