Five Smart Steps for Software Internationalization

For businesses going global, a successful expansion strategy usually includes moving into new language markets.

 

In our insider guide to software internationalization, you’ll learn:

  • How to plan for localization right from the start

  • How to best clean code for software localization

  • Why Unicode is essential for multiple languages

  • What strings should be translated and what strings left alone

  • How to anticipate text expansion in your strings

  • Why pseudo-translation can save you valuable time by fixing bugs before you start the software localization process


  1. Plan for localization: Start communicating your plan for internationalization as soon as possible to streamline your time-to-market.

  2. Take the text out of the code: The first major step in preparing software for localization is to separate the text from the code.

  3. Set coding standards: You’ll save a lot of time and effort if you establish coding methods early on to support multiple languages and character sets.

  4. Prepare strings for localization: The core of internationalization is to use best practices in handling text strings.

  5. Test, fix, iterate: Before you even localize, you can do a test-run of the localization process.

If your business is ready to take that next global step, this eBook will help guide you through the necessary steps for successful software internationalization.
