Aiko Mori
Lead Linguist · Kyoto, Japan
The word “privacy” has a direct Japanese equivalent — but the cultural weight it carries is entirely different. A screen that tells an American “your data is safe” reads as a warning in Tokyo. That judgment is what separates localization from translation.
Aiko leads linguistic quality across East Asian markets. Trained in cognitive linguistics, with 11 years in software localization, she has shipped products for household electronics brands, messaging platforms, and three Series-B SaaS companies entering Japan.

String comparison tells you whether the word exists. Screenshot testing tells you whether the word fits. German runs 40% longer than English — check only the string and you will ship a broken button to 83 million people.
Tiago built Parlato’s context-aware screenshot QA framework from the ground up. He maintains test suites across 14 active client projects and has caught over 2,300 layout regressions that string-only testing would have missed.
Camille Roy
Project Manager · Montréal, Canada
Every product team believes it needs six months to localize. We have never needed more than twelve days for a first market. The sprint works because we sequence the work the way you sequence a release — by user impact, not by alphabet.
Camille runs localization sprints for e-commerce and SaaS clients across North America and Europe. She designed the 12-day sprint methodology now used across every Parlato engagement, reducing average time-to-market by 68%.
