A Practical Guide to Software Localization covers many of the things a localizer will come across. It contains chapters on translating software, translating on-line help and documentation, translation memory tools, project management, and terminology management. The examples in this book are applicable to most languages, they reference a typical localization project translated from English into French, Italian, German and Spanish. The platforms discussed are Microsoft Windows and Apple MacOS.The daily tasks and responsibilities of project managers, localization engineers, and — most importantly — translators, has never been given much attention.
A Practical Guide to Software Localization was written to fill that gap. It is designed as an up-to-date reference book suitable for (self)training in localization.
