Software Localization & Testing

The international market is fundamental for software companies, but competition is fierce and companies have to work hard to succeed. Developing a package that is well-suited to the local market is essential for businesses that want to have an international prescence and is one of my key areas of expertise.

As in the case of websites, users prefer applications translated in their own language and adapted to their cultural environment. Understanding a program means avoiding mistakes and achieving a higher performance. That is why software localization is so important for the marketing of the product.

A well localized product assures that the user will feel comfortable with the product, since it will be adapted to their cultural standards and will meet all the legal requirements. The user will also be able to input data, addresses, dates, etc. in his or her own language and use the language's national characters.

I have worked in the localization of many software products. I have also participated in the software testing of different IBM products in IBM laboratories located in the US and also in the IBM Translation Center of Barcelona. Please check my experience in localization projects and software testing.
