Forethought and planning is beneficial with any translation or localization project. With software localization, it becomes paramount. This presentation focuses on the importance of proper preparation before launching any software localization project. The speaker provides concrete examples of the issues that can arise in the absence of adequate planning – issues related to terminology, tools to be used and technical considerations such as proper software internationalization. Additionally, the presentation outlines the steps involved in localization from translation through final testing, and discusses the ROI of proper preparation, showing the costs incurred for internationalization versus fixing internationalization bugs later in the development process.
