For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

Counterbalancing that positive news were widening losses in Meta Reality Labs’ (MRL), which houses AR, VR, and all-things metaverse.
