Software Internationalization
Internationalization involves:
- Understanding the international market for your software product
- Planning your software from the beginning for international markets
- Architecting internationalization into your domestic product to avoid costly product retrofitting
- Building software to meet stringent languages requirements (e.g. Japan's ideographic, 2-byte Kanji characters, Europe's notational conventions and collating sequences, or right-to-left reading text for Hebrew and Arabic).
As you can see, you need more than a simple translation of screens and dialog boxes. To cost effectively break into international markets, you need the TGP Business System.
