SOFTWARE LOCALIZATION: MORE THAN TRANSLATION
Is your software ready to be localized? After translation, will your product work the way foreign customers expect?
Rubric's rigorous software localization services and testing ensure that it will. Rubric builds QA into every phase of software localization. Our preventive approach delivers localized software products on your schedule and creates higher quality products that earn satisfied, loyal customers.
Our testing procedures begin before software localization commences — during product development, when possible — and conclude with a systematic analysis of translated text. We don't simply alert you to the presence of errors; we advise you about corrections that will enhance your product's functionality.
Rubric's software testing includes:
- Software localization readiness. The earlier bugs are detected during product development, the easier and cheaper they are to fix. Rubric's software localization teams ensure that your internationalized product features will work in any language. Our software localization testing protocols cover:
- text scrolling (left to right, right to left, top to bottom)
- date and address formatting
- decimal-comma switching
- currency symbols
- case conversion
- support of 16-bit characters if more-complex alphabets, such as those used in Asian languages, are to be employed.
- Localized software functionality. After software text has been translated, Rubric ensures that it meets our high standards for functionality and aesthetics. Functional testing requires two key skills: software localization technology expertise and knowledge of the target language and culture. When necessary, we divide this task between two experts who work in close concert.
Rubric's software localization and testing is accelerated by our intimate understanding of software technology and our teams of software localization experts. We understand the deep aspects of modern development languages, tools and user interfaces. Rubric's technical teams consult with you when software issues are discovered and provide your teams with coding alternatives.
