LOCALIZATION OF SOFTWARE PRODUCTS

摘要

A localization process which is particularly suitable for source products which include electronic images captured from foreign sources and are graphics-intensive. In a project evaluation phase (2) the extent of localization effort is estimated and text and graphic files are prepared. In a screen shooting step (3) screens from a local source are captured. In a graphics processing step (5) screen shots are superimposed on a blank file and edited graphics are in turn superimposed on the screen shots. Translation is performed in a separate part of the process and the output from translation is used for both screen shooting and graphics processing. In a technical integration step (6) text files, final graphics files, and generic program code are integrated and tested.
