Localisation (L10N) is a much broader process than translation. L10N involves the overall handling of content and computer programs so they function in other languages and cultures. This involves tasks such as:
▪ Analysis.
▪ Planning.
▪ Project Management.
▪ Internationalisation.
▪ Translation and Cultural Adaptation.
▪ Integration.
▪ Testing.
▪ Documentation.
Source code, libraries, resources, screens, interfaces, content, help, manuals, etc. A different tool must be used for each one, but in a coordinated and coherent way.
All the factors that must be processed in order to localise a software application, in the correct order and following the steps required to produce the best results.
