Being bilingual comes with its own set of struggles and efforts. It comes with the exertions of fitting in at a foreign country and gets you totally lost in the translation. Spanish by birth, David Garcia Gonzalez understood these concerns when he moved to the United Kingdom, and with his unmatched dedication and unwavering involvement, he revolutionized the world of localization.
