HP Enterprise Software’s Bespoke UI Localization Process

Описание: If you’re responsible for software localization, you may face quality issues like not having context for the translators and managing the QA process for a large scope of work at one time, often with limited resources. Uriel Lustig, Globalization (G11N) Architect for Hewlett Packard Enterprise Software, also faced these challenges three years ago. Together with Henk Boxma, an independent localization consultant, and David Sommer, Director of Strategic Operations for Net-Translators, Uriel shares how he overcame these challenges in this video.

Translation Strings Aren’t in Context
----------------------------------------------------------
This can be a big issue for software translation. If a translator is handed a spreadsheet with a bunch of text strings, he or she doesn’t have the context around the words to know how to translate them properly. Uriel did an analysis and found that 50% of the defects were due to context issues, not incorrect translations. Uriel addressed the context issue by implementing a technology solution for the translators. After implementing this solution, he reduced the number of context issues by 30% while also saving time.

Managing the QA Process In-house
---------------------------------------------------------
After the translations are completed, they must be run through a QA process. What’s challenging here is that oftentimes the different languages come in at one time, and they all have to be QA’d within the same timeframe, frequently with limited resources. Uriel implemented a solution that allowed his team to test several languages at one time, saving 40% of the testing time while increasing the language coverage. Since they saved time, the team was able to work new projects which increased their job satisfaction and provided a new career path.

Uriel explains what the solutions are and how he implemented them in this video. You can also read more about the solutions in our webinar recap blog post: https://www.net-translators.com/blog/...
