Our background in Software Localization, Engineering, Testing, DTP and Publishing


Warelords was founded in Dublin (Ireland) early 2008 by Seán Nolan.

Seán has a long background in engineering, accounting, testing and media services dating back to the mid 1980's. He launched his first IT company, Aslan Localization Services, in 1998 and was bought out within 2 years by SDL plc and successfully created and managed the SDL Technology Centre in Dublin for over 5 years. In 2005 he founded Software Locale Networking in Dublin to offer both IT and Media Production Services before creating Warelords and concentrating on IT services.

Jacques has 20 years experience in Software Engineering & Testing both in Ireland and Asia, including 9 years managing localization operations in China. More recently, he founded Rainbow Network in Beijing, China, which was acquired by The Big Word in 2006.
