Project Scope

Translation and subsequent point update of GUI software resources and Online Help system into 5 languages. Localisation of software, and subsequent testing, using ITR in-house software engineers, in partnership with client development teams in Australia and the United States.

Project Methodology

• Translation of terms for GUI and Help made by leveraging existing translation memories
• Consistency achieved with glossary and terms approved by client's overseas offices
• Application built in dedicated secure environment at ITR, including the simulation of a telecommunications switch, with client on-site engineer assistance
• International test plan developed at ITR and approved by client's QA department
• Software built and tested repeatedly according to international test plan, with test iterations performed by several linguists working with software engineers
• Localisations checked for errors and inconsistencies, and subsequently re-tested
• Updates from client incorporated as required, integrity ensured through the use of versioning source control software
• Fully tested localised application returned to client on two CDs per language, one set to autorun and install, one containing the final source code. Ahead of schedule!
