Software Localization: Inside the Black Box

Software Localization: Inside the Black Box

Going global with your mobile apps, SaaS, and cloud solutions requires translation and localization for multiple languages. Software developers and digital project managers may be the most tech-savvy people around, but if you aren't familiar with the localization process, it can look like a black box.

In this meetup, we’ll break open the black box and unpack the tools and workflows used by software localization experts.

These include:

· Computer Aided Translation (CAT) software. We’ll discuss how these tools capture and parse translatable text, increasing speed, accuracy, and efficiency.

· Quality Assurance software. These use algorithms to flag potential errors in any language.

· Emerging tools for agile workflows. These allow for ongoing changes to source code and continuous delivery of localized versions without disrupting workflows.

You’ll come away with a better understanding of how the decisions made by digital project managers and software developers impact the translation process. A look inside the localization black box prepares your team for efficient, cost-effective software localization.
