Use boosters to go faster in the LMM 3.0 ladder - Leveling UP!
A booster (also known as Power-UP) is an item in that can be used to simplify game play. They do this in various forms. Some boosters are activated via the screen before the game starts, others can be activated during game play, while some are used as a consolation to prevent failure and retrying.
In video games boosters are very popular, they do really help you to progress faster. If you are in a hurry, or if you need to defeat that scary boss that is waiting for you at the end of a level, they are really useful!
When it comes to LMM model we can also use boosters to progress faster.
Please find below a list of boosters that they can help to progress faster in the Localization ladder. Hopefully, you don't need to use these boosters to defeat your boss 😃 but to promote your Localization program!!
Have a great w-end! and good luck out there evangelizing about Localization!

These roles blend human expertise with AI, pointing to a future where localization jobs look very different from today.
