SAN FRANCISCO & BEIJING--()--Stepes (pronounced /'steps/), the leader in mobile translation, has announced that it will be featured in the Game-Changer Innovation Contest at the TAUS Annual Conference on October 24, 2016.

The TAUS Annual Conference is a marketplace of ideas for innovation, automation, and collaboration for the translation and localization industry. TAUS 2016 invited Stepes to attend the Annual Conference alongside other popular innovators. Companies small and large, startups and well established, will take part in competing at the conference. After the competition, the audience will select the winners of the "TAUS Game-Changer Innovation Awards."

"We’re excited to see new innovations, such as Stepes, join the TAUS Game Changers Innovation Contest,” commented Jaap van der Meer, director of TAUS. “It is a great platform for innovators from inside and outside of the translation industry to showcase their ideas and technologies to an audience of the best and most varied group of thought leaders in our industry.”
