The WorldLingo software localization process
1. Planning & evaluation
First we plan the project with you and listen carefully to your needs and clearly tell you what we can deliver and when. We also inform you of any regulatory and cultural adaptation issues that need to be taken into account for your specific project. In addition project engineering analysis, including requirements specification and process definition is provided to the client.
2. Extracting/re-integrating assets from source software into translatable format
Once all issues have been identified and resolved in the pre-project consultation phase, using a variety of applications we extract and re-integrate all of the translatable elements for your software product.
- resource files
- graphics, images and icons
- help files
- read-me files
- user guides
- audio
- packaging
- warranty cards
- software licences and legal disclaimers
3. Testing
After reintegrating the translatable elements back into your software product our engineers and translators undertake functionality and linguistic testing.
- Regression testing and bug fixing
- Identifying localization issues in the client's build environment
- Taking localized screen shots
- User interface testing
- Setting up bug report formats or databases
- General QA testing
Localization quality assurance
Our engineering process is based on a model which includes extensive Quality Assurance procedures. Each software localization project is completed within a consistent, quality-centric framework. Quality and workflow processes can be adapted to integrate with existing client-side environments.? During all phases of the localization life cycle process our management and production teams working from offices in the US , Australasia and Europe, control every aspect of the process through our quality assurance procedures.
Managing your localized software assets
Of increasing importance to all companies engaged in software localization projects, is the need to maximize the often hidden 'value' in the translation assets they hold. Tools used to ensure that a software localization process is consistent and accurate can now also provide the means to drive language technology developments that will revolutionize the way in which your localized software and support materials (even your day-to-day business communications) are created and delivered. WorldLingo's translation asset management system enables you to leverage your existing translation assets to reduce the cost of current and future software localizations.
