SOFTWARE INTERNATIONALIZATION

Internationalization - or modifying the design and code of an application to support non-English languages - is a vital first step in the process of product localization.

Many countries use different coding practices than the United States. For example, China, Japan, and Korea use double-byte character sets, while the United States uses a single-byte character set (ASCII). To support the double-byte environment and other international language requirements, many code changes are required. These include modifying the encoding method as well as changing text direction, linguistic boundaries, wrapping, justification, fonts, and sorting.

Real Idea's skilled internalization engineers analyze your software code and implement the necessary changes or recommend appropriate changes. Where required, our QA engineers make sure that your code is multi-byte enabling.

Real Idea is aware that software internalization is often neglected during initial design and coding. Our experts are ready to address your internationalization issues from the beginning, reducing your costs and speeding your time to market.
