Локалізація програмного забезпечення

Software localization is a complex process that involves much more than mere translation. It requires a comprehensive understanding of the user interface and the context of every menu item. Misinterpretation can easily occur with single or two-word phrases if their connection to the rest of the interface isn’t understood.

Sometimes, localization also means working within space constraints in the software menu, necessitating creative and concise translations. In some languages, the entire interface needs to be reconfigured if the writing system differs from the original language. Finally, rigorous testing is crucial to eliminate any linguistic bugs in the localized software.
