Localization & Internationalization Testing
Streamlining the Delivery of Quality Products, Applications, and Content to Global Markets
As the leading provider of translation and localization services, Lionbridge’s Localization and Internationalization Testing service verifies that products, applications, and content meet the language and locale-specific requirements of global markets.
Localization ("L10N"), refers to the process of translating content and adapting products and applications to meet language and locale-specific requirements. Internationalization ("I18N"), refers to the process of designing products, applications, and content so they can be localized without requiring engineering changes.
Lionbridge’s worldwide network of linguistic professionals and test engineers – operating across more than 80 countries and more than 250 global markets – streamline the delivery of global products. We offer the most comprehensive and cost efficient approach to expanding your global presence and delivering market-ready products worldwide.
Lionbridge’s Localization & Internationalization Testing service includes:
- I18N assessment – architectural and code-level analysis to assess the localization-readiness of products, applications, and services (performed by I18N engineers and system analysts)
- Localization functional testing – verifies the localization process has not impaired application functionality and that it performs as specified on localized operating systems and regional hardware configurations (performed by lingua-aware test engineers)
- Localization UI testing – identifies cosmetic defects in localized software, i.e., missed translations, string truncations, embedded text in graphics, formatting flaws, etc. (performed by lingua-aware test engineers)
- Translation verification testing – verifies translation accuracy (performed by native speaking and fluent linguists and editors)
- Market readiness assessment – verifies the suitability and user experience of product features and functions against the requirements of a specific market or locale (performed by in-country, native-speaking engineers and business analysts)
