Localization Training

Localization Training Video Course

Training built for engineers — learn practical strategies to implement and work within an internationlized codebase.

This comprehensive training course is tailored for software engineers, equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to successfully build and maintain global-ready software. The curriculum is designed to provide a mix of foundational concepts, technical implementation strategies, and best practices for stable localization architecture.

Lay the groundwork for understanding and implementing localization processes.

  • Key Terminology: Learn essential concepts like localization (L10N), internationalization (I18N), globalization (G11N), and cultural adaptation.
  • UI Strings and Dynamic Content: Discover best practices for managing and extracting translatable UI strings, handling placeholders, and designing content that adapts dynamically.
  • LTR vs. RTL: Differentiate between Left-to-Right (LTR) and Right-to-Left (RTL) layouts, and implement strategies for seamless integration of bidirectional text in your applications.

Understand and manage the translation process efficiently.

  • What is a Translation Management System (TMS)? Explore the role of TMS platforms in simplifying the localization workflow.
  • Improving Efficiency with a TMS: Learn how translation memory, glossary management, and workflow automation can save time and reduce costs.
  • TMS Organization: Organize projects and maintain consistency across multiple languages and translation tasks.
  • Managing Translation Files in Codebases: Implement folder structures, file naming conventions, and version control for translation files.

Master internationalization techniques to build localization-ready software.

  • Static vs. Dynamic Deployment: Learn the differences between static deployment (e.g., language-specific builds) and dynamic deployment (on-the-fly locale switching).
  • Dynamic Codebase Deployment: Explore how to deploy multilingual applications with minimal disruption.
  • Automation in Localization: Automate repetitive tasks in the development cycle, like string extraction, file generation, and syncing with TMS.

Design scalable and efficient localization architectures.

  • Determining Accurate Locales: Build systems that intelligently determine the user's locale based on browser settings, IP address, and user preferences.
  • API Design for Globalization: Learn how to design APIs that support multilingual and multicultural content delivery.
  • Formatting for a Global Audience: Implement locale-specific formatting for dates, times, currencies, and numbers to improve user experience worldwide.
