Running a Multilingual Software Business
Localizing software is a great way for rapidly multiplying your income. We’ll go over the different activities required to localize software and explain how they can be done with ICanLocalize.
1. Localize the software itself
The key to software localization is separating code from texts. This means that the application’s texts are held separate from the program code. This separation makes software localization possible and even easy.
Describing the software, the target audience and the writing style
