  6. Activities at Industry Events: Ensure that the SIG has a clear presence at events like GDC, Localization World, E3, Gamescom, etc.

  8. Game Localization Best Practices: Compiles a list of core best practices for game localization and shares them via the SIG. Started in early 2011 and republished in an updated version in English in 2012.

  10. LocJAM: create a yearly event, framed as a free and non-competitive game translation contest, that can act as a showcase for videogame localization among students, young professional and developers. Started in 2014, with two editions held so far.
