As the use of Agile methodologies has become widespread, traditional software globalization methods have been strained. Relative to larger waterfall releases, Agile creates many ongoing small efforts that don’t mesh well with traditional localization management and processing. The onus shifts from cost per word to  automating development and localization updating processes and eliminating backlogs.

On Thursday, February 12th, 2015, Lingoport and Lingotek hosted a joint webinar to discuss automating from development to translation and back again.

Integrating Development, Localization and Translation Management

To create this more efficient process, we’ve integrated Lingoport’s Globalyzer Suite with Lingotek’s Cloud-Based Translation Management System. Those two meet needs that have been historically important for software development as it relates to localization, and efficiency in the translation process. Putting them together is an important new progression that was previously disconnected.

The results are pretty exciting and we provided a brief demonstration.

Globalization managers can press a link to:

1. check the internationalization status of development.
2. send resource files to Lingotek’s translation Management System.
3. track progress via Lingoport’s Dashboard.
4. have translated resource files analyzed for formatting and quality issues.
5. reinsert updates into the source code repository.

None of this requires developers or localization managers to go off task to run manual scripts or tasks, or keep track of things in Excel. Visual dashboards keep all stakeholders informed and proactive.

FamilySearch had been globalized for years. It’s an actively used, dynamic site with a worldwide audience and presented in fourteen languages. But despite having a large and resourceful team of translators and tools, site updates that require localization caused backlogs and disparities between development and localization teams. This problem was costing FamilySearch time, money and resources, all of which could have been deployed to develop new content and features. As a result, product teams experienced significant barriers in improving the global experience of the site. Many companies successfully internationalize and localize. But, because they have little technology to innumerate, support and maintain globalization, measuring and maintaining the process is difficult. As a result they experience expensive delays and reactive surprises. FamilySearch turned to Lingoport and Globalyzer Express solve these problems. FamilySearch selected Globalzyer Express because of the ease of implementation and minimal disruption to development release cycles. Using Globalyzer and Lingoport’s Professional Services, FamilySearch created an integrated system to automate, track, verify, approve and implement interface and content changes.
As a result, FamilySearch was able to:

• unify development and localization teams
• measure and share changes that affect localization in each sprint, translation scheduling, turnaround and updated builds
• improve the workflow between product builds and translation updates
• automate to eliminate chances for errors that cause blow-up problems, while keeping controls to ensure an accurate update process
• significantly reduce time to market, making site improvements available to international users on an accelerated schedule

A proactive approach to building and maintaining software supporting global customers, and their language and cultural requirements

Static Analysis, a process of evaluating source code for ongoing development without running the software like during testing, has been effectively harnessed for supporting quality, security and other coding requirements. We will show how it can be applied to globalized software development for big productivity and release gains.

What’s Good: Potential as a big time saver, better quality and releases. Quickly find and assist with internationalization (i18n) and ongoing U/I changes affecting localization (L10n).

What’s Bad: If it’s not properly implemented, static analysis can be a forest of false-positive issue distractions.

We’ll take a practical look at how to make static analysis internationalization and localization work for your team.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

• Background on static analysis and testing for globalization
• Agile development demands on globalization
• Successful real world examples
• Benchmarks for accuracy and acceptance
• Continuous integration for i18n & L10n
• Working on legacy code
• Working on ongoing development
• Connecting U/I changes with translation systems

Who should attend: 

Technical managers and engineers looking for a systematic way to improve the development, release and ongoing features for software that supports languages and cultural formatting worldwide.
