Abstract

Comprehensive and easy to read, this book is designed for anyone who is considering penetrating international markets via localization or is currently localizing but wants to do it more efficiently.

The book begins by defining localization and distinguishing it from translation, which is just one step in localizing a product or its documentation. Seven parts clearly mark the topics that its chapters explore. Part 1 explains the benefits of localizing, and then helps readers choose the right markets and strategies. Part 2 illustrates why entrusting localization to experienced professionals is the most cost-effective approach by exposing ten myths and mistakes that cause so many projects to fail.
