Internationalisation (i18n)
When developing software products for world markets, the best way to make them globally acceptable is to internationalise them.
Internationalisation (i18n) is a crucial first step towards producing a globally acceptable software product. It includes developing or re-engineering the software so it can be easily translated into many languages, without requiring additional changes to the core application.
Do you have internal resources for such a specialised job?
Lionbridge experts have been delivering internationalisation services since 1993. Our goal is to help our customers develop global-ready software products, which ultimately are easier and less expensive to localise. Localisation is the process of preparing products for a particular language and culture.
Benefits of internationalisation with Lionbridge:
-
Better product performance: Your product operates as advertised in all languages and target markets.
-
Faster time-to-market: You’re able to simultaneously release your product in every language and location.
-
Increased development bandwidth: You no longer need additional software development to localise your applications. This frees up your developers to work on other products.
Comprehensive Internationalisation services:
-
Auditing: identifying internationalisation issues within your software development process
-
Training: offering a series of courses about internationalisation, including best practices and standards
-
Code implementation: providing source code modification to address issues found during the audit process
-
Consulting: identifying product development problems specific to internationalisation and developing an effective action plan specific to your needs
