Globalization Consulting
Acclaro provides globalization consulting services that address all phases of the process.
Services Include:
Global Readiness Assessment
Acclaro engineers and linguists conduct a thorough analysis of your software or website to determine its state of readiness for localization from both a technical and cultural perspective. Output of the assessment can include recommendations on:
- Technical Readiness
- Character issues (e.g., display, input and storage of double-byte characters)
- Locale issues (e.g., time, currency)
- Data storage (e.g., access and sorting issues, etc.)
- Cultural Readiness
- Is the content and images culturally relevant and easily localized for the target locales, etc.
- Design & Architecture Readiness
- Centralized vs. distributed websites
- Ease of multilingual maintenance
- Multilingual navigation considerations
- Local vs. remote content management and control
Software / Website Internationalization
Working with your software or website developers, Acclaro internationalization engineers will perform the technical modification of your applications and website to ensure that they are able to function in multiple locales and languages. This process enables your applications to support the character encodings and data formats necessary to manage multilingual content and support the currency formats, input methods, time and calendar standards and other modifications required to meet the cultural, legal, and technical requirements of regional markets.
This service can be provided as a fully outsourced solution, or through staffing resources to work within your development team.
Localization Process Improvement
Drawing on the experiences of over 16 years of localization experience, Acclaro consultants and engineers can assist in the development of internal, external, and hybrid localization processes and architecture that can improve your quality and time-to-market for localized products as well as reduce cost through the elimination of duplication and error.
