- 4. Yin & Yangof Software Globalization Internationalization (i18n): Process of making a single code base locale-independent, so it can be localized without source code changes. Localization (l10n): Translation & application of locale terms and style so that it looks locale-specific, i.e. looks and reads like a product native to the respective market.
- 5. Globalization focus: contentand words • TM’s: Cloud-based TM, integration with TMS & machine translation engines. • Machine Translation + post-editing • Crowdsourcing • Translation Management Systems • Marketplaces, auctions and management platforms • Centralized localization service groups Is there another tool / process that can bring 15% savings to current, mature localization models?

- 7. Challenges to focuson i18n • Who owns i18n? Software development or L10n? • What processes and tools can: – mold i18n guidelines with developers environment around the world? – ensure compliance during development or QA, not during localization? • Development times are shorter. – Focus on “hot fixes” or i18n bugs? – Are i18n bugs Tier 1 or 3? • Difficult to test complex process beyond U/I labels.
- 8. Importance on i18ncompliance • i18n compliance through iterative QA cycles and releases is a waste of money and time. • Finding, managing, fixing and verifying i18n bugs is costly. Averages start at $500. • Releasing core products to worldwide markets faster creates revenue opportunities, not just cost savings. • “Reactive internationalization is unpredictable and poorly controlled.” – Gary Lefman.
- 9. Founded on threecore principles: 1. Making software world-ready is a priority, not a side project. 2. There should not be surprises in coding software for the world. 3. Internationalization (i18n) should be a leading priority for software development.
- 10. i18n Focus tostreamline L10n • Develop products that produce scalable, repeatable and accurate processes for global releases. • Design them specifically for software engineers, QA teams and their managers to find, fix and report i18n bugs. • Produce knowledge for management to measure & scope i18n readiness and progress on technical debt.

Editor's Notes
- #4 Yin & Yang: used to describe how polar opposites or seemingly contrary forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world, and how they give rise to each other in turn.In this hands-on one-hour online session, Lingoport will demonstrate how Globalyzer 4.0 (in beta now) fits into the development environment of the engineer. Interacting with source code repositories and a resource assistant to externalize, manage, validate and pseudo-localize strings. See real-time internationalization as we work with source code and learn how Globalyzer, the leading internationalization product, ensures best-step i18n practices and compliance.

- #12 Globalyzer has three main components:[Click]The Server holds rule sets used to scan source code with the other components. A rule set contains i18n detection and filtering rules for a programming language, such as Java or C#.[Click]The Workbench is a feature-rich i18n environment. It detects and manages internationalization issues. [Click]The Workbench uses the rule sets from the server to scan the code. You can easily refactor code, externalize strings, check resource bundles, generate reports and so on. [Click]The Command Line scans code using rule sets from the server and generates reports without a user interface. Command Line can be automated and integrated in continuous builds and automated
