Anyone have any recommendations for software contract shops who can prepare codebases for localization / internationalization? They don't have to do the translation itself, just the software work.

I have an existing handwritten knowledgebase with screenshots of an app, a codebase with standard CI/CD pipelines, and an API whose docs are autogenerated against an OpenAPI spec.

Is there a convenient way these days to chain software together so that product documentation, including screenshots, is completely autogenerated on new codebase commits? Anyone tried some chain of tools, including paid ones, that works successfully in the wild?

Does anyone know where I can find reasonable salary data for Romanian positions? It's fine if it is not exact, I just don't know what "rules of thumb" are in this country I am unfamiliar with and I'd like to hire there.

I'm interested in Support Engineering, Software Engineering, DevOps, etc.

Has anyone tried Google's Workspace AI in the Trusted Tester program? https://workspace.google.com/blog/product-announcements/generative-ai

I'm unsure if it's real or a marketing reaction to Microsoft's CoPilot announcement. I'd love to hear real usage reviews.

For anyone on the other side of the table (CEO, HR, Operations folks), how have you planned big-company layoffs before and how do you keep it silent before it happens?

For example, in the 12000 person Google layoff today, how did they get a list of 12000 people to layoff? Is it all done at the very top level, or are decisions about who/what to keep delegated to some certain level?
