Translation, localization, internationalization, globalization, language experience. Different words for overlapping worlds, all underserved by platforms built for everyone else.
Generic job boards do not know the difference between a Localization Engineer at a language company and one mapping GPS coordinates for a self-driving car. We do. The language industry deserves its own jobs platform.

Aggregated weekly into LIHI — the Language Industry Hiring Index.
How we organize the industry
Every job on langleaders is mapped to five career pillars and eight company types. The same framework powers the job board, the matches, the company profiles, and LIHI — the Language Industry Hiring Index.

Language is infrastructure.
Every product that crosses a border, every platform that serves more than one market, every piece of communication that reaches a global audience depends on the people who do this work. The industry that makes it possible is understaffed, underfunded, and poorly understood by the broader technology world.
langleaders exists to change that, starting with the job market. Better data means better decisions. Better decisions mean stronger teams. Stronger teams mean better outcomes for the organizations that depend on language to reach the world. The data is there. Use it.
How the market index is built
Effective 8 October 2026. The index covers publicly advertised language-industry roles found through employer career sites, supported job platforms, public job feeds, and reviewed submissions. Duplicate listings are merged before publication.
Classification and denominators
Current, unsuperseded classifications determine whether a role belongs to the language-industry cohort, its career discipline, and related signals. Percentages use the eligible roles in that measure as their denominator; missing fields are shown as not stated rather than inferred.
Open roles and duration
A role not re-observed for 30 days is treated as no longer open. This passive expiry rule shapes both open-role counts and durations. Confirmed closures remain separate from passive age-outs, and censored roles are not presented as confirmed closures.
LIHI baseline and weights
LIHI keeps its published baseline of 1,979 roles. It combines active roles (35%), hiring companies (20%), geographic reach (15%), career breadth (15%), and company breadth (15%). This publication does not revise its formula, baseline, or history.
Breaks and missing data
Method and population changes are annotated at their effective dates. Missing days remain visible gaps and are never joined by an invented value. Known gaps include 6 September and 8–23 September 2026.
Revisions and refresh
Daily aggregates refresh after the collection cycle and are checked for expected rows, non-zero volume, recent completion, and unusual day-over-day movement. Evidence- backed corrections may revise aggregates; every material method change is dated.
Privacy
Market reporting is aggregate. It does not publish a person's saved roles, profile, or individual viewing history. Sparse candidate-attention segments are withheld.
Methodology breaks: initial daily series began 29 June; classification changed 31 July; the tracked population changed 4–7 September and 27 September; the daily series has known gaps on 6 September and 8–23 September; evergreen, tools, and seniority methods are versioned from their effective dates.
