The document discusses localization (L10N) which is the process of adapting products or services for a particular cultural or linguistic market through translation and cultural adaptation. It involves translating text, software, websites and adjusting visual elements and examples to be culturally appropriate. Quality assurance and testing are important parts of localization and involve verifying the localized product works as intended on the target operating systems and accounts for locale-specific issues. Localization projects may involve on-site testing to simulate the end user's in-country experience.

Computer Science - Classification of Programming Languages
Programming Languages are broken down into High level and Low level languages. This slideshow shows how they are classified and explains low level and high level languages in depth.

Computer Science - High Level Languages
Different types of high level languages are explained within this presentation. For example, imperative, object orientated and declarative languages are explained. The two types of languages within declarative (logic and functional) are also mentioned and described as well as the characteristics of high level languages. There is also a hierarchy of high level languages and generations.

While recent industry headlines have been dominated by merger mania, I think the long term story for GALA
companies is really about how to provide better service, products and returns for our customers. Thats how we
compete for and keep customers. Within software localization, the functional emphasis is typically on words - word
counts, what they cost, when they will be received, translation memories, translation quality, localization engineering
and delivery milestones. But for our company, we get involved months, if not years, before our clients are ready to
localize. This article aims to show that you can put internationalization to work as a repeatable and successful activity
to differentiate your company further as a problem-solver, helping clients get to market faster and more efficiently.

Even in this era of global commerce, instant information exchange,
and falling economic boundaries, the business of “globalization” is
rife with confusing terms and concepts, especially for client
companies wading into the area for the first time.
At Lingoport, we find that, in general, technology firms with global
ambitions well understand what localization is and how it relates to
software globalization. But they often have limited understanding of
the related field of internationalization, and how it relates to the job
at hand.
That’s of course a generalization. Many firms are well versed in both
terms, and in the case of the largest global technology brands,
support internal staffs devoted to internationalization. Their needs
are of course dramatically different than firms that, by virtue of their
size, industry focus, or experience, simply aren’t familiar with the
intricacies and interdependencies of l10n and i18n.

Week 3 Lecture 1 - Business Software
Management of Information Systems
Business Software
What should drive an IT infrastructure decision?
Ideally, the software would be selected first and then the hardware to host it. Most companies already possess some hardware that can limit the available options when selecting software. Determining which software or system approach that will fulfill the organization’s business functions is a key IT infrastructure decision. The value returned by software to an organization increases efficiency or competitive advantage. Software should return value to organizations, suppliers, customers, employees, and all stakeholders. Software functionality and the core value propositions (creating opportunities, increasing efficiency, gaining competitive advantage, or business problems solving) must be evaluated and analyzed when selecting software.
Operating systems and application software:
Common software applications are spreadsheet programs, and word processors. Other applications that may not be so familiar are analytics, survey, mapping applications, and web page or blog builders. Developers design applications’ interfaces. Operating systems also have an interface. Application interfaces are contained within the operating system interface.
Figure 4 Microsoft Edge browser application interface highlighted lime; the Windows 10 operating system interface highlighted magenta
Operating systems provide common interfaces to applications such as the close and resize boxes, scroll bars, and features for saving, cutting and pasting. Other layout features of applications come from their developers. Sometimes discerning systems software from application software can be difficult because operating systems are embedded with applications. A database management system, for instance, is application software that could easily be confused with system software.
The most important features of PC software.
PC software should be easy-to-understand, and contain intuitive icons. Icons reduce the time needed to learn to use software and make software more globally accessible because of the language independence of pictures. Metaphors can be used to indicate how to use interfaces. The Windows desktop, for instance, is a metaphor for a desktop containing items on which a person is currently working. Use of metaphors and intuitive icons increase productivity.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.
