Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.
Back To Main Menu Back To Main MenuWhat Is Localization Testing?
Localization testing involves verifying the quality of a product for a specific culture or location and is performed on local versions by our localization QA specialists to make the product capable enough to be used in that specific region. It tests the user interface, language vocabulary, currency formats, country-specific date, and time formats.
To guarantee the adaptability of software to diversified cultures and languages around the world without any modification in the source code, Internationalization (I18N) is implemented. It verifies if the code can handle all international support without breaking functionality that could cause data loss or data integrity issues. Internationalization simply prepares applications for localization.
Why Do You Need Localization Testing Services?
Localization quality assurance is important for a website or app to reach potential customers worldwide and plays a crucial role in ensuring proper localization. It also addresses the following areas:
- Eliminates any bugs and errors that occur while localizing content and the user interface to another language.
- Elements such as dates, holidays, numbers, currencies, and scripts are changed to the elements used in the target location.
- Ensures that cultural elements such as colors and symbols are in tune with local user experience.
- Maintains that the localized version of the product is consistent with the original version and works as intended.
