The Wonderful 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. Wonderful's translation asset
management system enables you to leverage your existing translation assets to reduce the cost of current
and future software localizations. |
