Locale Exchanger^TM Benefits

As the demands on your web site have risen, you have had to respond by going from plain HTML files to pages with more and more complex code, using technologies such as ASP (Microsoft Active Server Pages) and Java servlets.

Adding all this code makes traditional web page translation harder, as you need a translator who can understand your code well enough to not break it when translating. It also leads to file access conflicts when code changes and translations are to happen at the same time.
By separating just the translatable text into its own file, you gain the freedom to change code and text independently. Furthermore, you have a translatable file that is free of any code which means, that your code is protected from corruption during translation, and kept away from prying eyes. You even gain the ability to add additional languages without having to change your code!
Overall, your web site localization process will go faster with a higher degree of quality. These are benefits that have been known to people like Windows programmers for a long time and have led to the development of so-called resource files, which serve a similar purpose.

Benefit Summary:

• Cuts costs by enabling a “Globalization” strategy for your web site(s), versus a “language by language” approach. Add additional languages (e.g. for the hot Brazilian market) without having to change your code.
• Using Locale Exchanger^TM at an early stage of the Globalization process leads to quicker editing and other site maintenance tasks.
• Works with Java Servlets and ASP files.
• Translation vendors/Translators work on text files with only the text strings to focus on – no code to wade through, saving their time and your money!
