COMPUTER GAMES LOCALISATION

摘要

A method for developing and localising software that involves receiving inputs from a software developer as part of a software development process, the inputs including one or more resource that is to be localised. When these inputs are received, they are stored in a central repository together with an identifier indicative of their location in the software being developed. Once this is done, a translator is allocated the task of localising the software, and the localisable resources are presented on a translator interface, ideally together with contextual information. These are then localised by the translator and stored in the repository. Whilst this is being done, the development process continues until the software or at least a part thereof is completed and all relevant localisable information is localised. Then, the software is tested in a run time environment in the original and the foreign languages.
