Localization Industry Standards Association

The Localization Industry Standards Association (LISA) was an organization that developed best practices, guidelines, and standards to improve the quality and efficiency of language translation and localization services. Its goal was to help global businesses adapt products, content, and services smoothly across different languages and cultures. By providing industry-wide benchmarks, LISA aimed to ensure consistency, quality, and professionalism in localization projects, benefiting both service providers and clients. Although LISA officially dissolved in 2011, its work continues to influence the standards and practices in the localization industry.
