Localization Testing
Localization translates the product UI and occasionally
changes some initial settings to make it suitable for
another region. Localization testing checks the quality of
a product's localization for a particular target
culture/locale. This test is based on the results of
globalization testing, which verifies the functional
support for that particular culture/locale. Localization
testing can be executed only on the localized version of a
product. Localizability testing does not test for
localization quality. The test effort during localization
testing focuses on:
• Areas affected by localization, such as UI and
content
• Culture/locale-specific, language-specific, and
region-specific areas
In addition, localization testing should include:
• Basic functionality tests
• Setup and upgrade tests run in the localized
environment
• Plan application and hardware compatibility tests
according to the product's target region
The localization testing of the user interface and
linguistics cover items such as:
• Validation of all application resources
• Verification of linguistic accuracy and resource
attributes
• Typographical errors
• Consistency checking of printed documentation,
online help, messages, interface resources, command-key
sequences, etc.
• Confirmation of adherence to system, input, and
display environment standards
• User interface usability
• Assessment of cultural appropriateness
• Checking for politically sensitive content
Internationalization is the process of designing and coding
a product so it can perform properly when it is modified
for use in different languages and locales.
Localization (also known as L10N) refers to the process, on
a properly internationalized base product, of translating
messages and documentation as well as modifying other
locale specific files.
Assuming that there is not a separate base product for the
locale, the localized files are installed at their proper
location in the base product. This product is then released
as a localized version of the product.
Localizing a properly internationalized product in most
cases should require no changes to the source code.
