LOCALIZATION ENGINEERING AND TESTING

Translation of an application can introduce or expose issues in the localized user interface that require resolution in the testing phase of the localization process. These can include broken functionality, hard-coded strings that are not translated, truncated or overlapping strings due to expansion of text (some languages can expand by 20% to 30%), and mistranslated text due to limited context during the translation process.

Software testing is an essential step in the localization process and ensures that the foreign language versions of your application function, look, and read as the users in each locale expect. Localization QA & testing will fix errors that are sometimes introduced during the translation process.

McElroy Translation has experienced localization engineering and testing teams for all standard platforms, operating systems, and programming languages, using proven processes, testing methodologies, and the latest testing automation tools as appropriate. Services include:
