Program Description Preconference Day (June 29, Hilton Bonn) Day One (June 30, Beethovenhalle) Day Two (July 1, Beethovenhalle) June 30: Conference Day One July 1: Conference Day Two June 29: Preconference Day The pre-conference day is planned for introductory sessions, committee meetings and workshops. If this conference has a theme, it is the unmistakable trend from relatively straightforward product localization to cross-cultural and cross-lingual knowledge sharing.
This trend is reflected in the presentations about localization in customer support. Each vertical industry has its own specific localization requirements. Panels – to challenge and balance multiple points of view networking sessions – to stimulate collaboration and support for new initiatives news – to take away lessons and new information case stories – to benchmark and learn from other companies. Internationalization and localization. Screenshot of software programs localized to Italian.
In computing, internationalization and localization (other correct spellings are internationalisation and localisation) are means of adapting computer software to different languages, regional differences and technical requirements of a target market. Internationalization is the process of designing a software application so that it can potentially be adapted to various languages and regions without engineering changes. Localization is the process of adapting internationalized software for a specific region or language by adding locale-specific components and translating text.
Localization (which is potentially performed multiple times, for different locales) uses the infrastructure or flexibility provided by internationalization (which is ideally performed only once, or as an integral part of ongoing development). Microsoft[3] defines Internationalization as a combination of World-Readiness and localization. Scope[edit] See also[edit] A Practical Guide to Localization - Bert Esselink. Electronics.
