Demystifying the Costs of Localization andTranslation (1)∙I already understand localization. Or do I?∙What do translators really do with my product?∙Why is localization so expensive?Introduction―Why is localization so expensive?!‖We hear this question a lot from our clients, and at one time we had a short answer for it:Words.Our clients usually just scowled at us when we gave that answer, and so we elaborated a bit:The expense-perspective: You paid to create yourEnglish-language product, but because your engineers andwriters use English words, it looked to you as though you didn’tpay anything to create it. Now you need to write a fat check tosomebody in order to create other versions, and you’re annoyedbecause ―all they’re doing is translating,‖ which feels like child’splay compared to the work you’ve done.The revenue-perspective: Your investment in theEnglish-language product will be returned by lots and lots ofEnglish-speaking people who will give you money because yousolved their problems. Similarly, localization is an investment in a[German/Japanese/Korean/Russian/ French/...] product, and thisinvestment will be returned by lots and lots ofnon-English-speaking people who will give you money for solvingtheir problems.In other words, there is an expense-side and a revenue-side to the coin of localization.We also hear that many people in technology consider the process of delivering international products a ―black box‖. Accordingly, Part I of this paper explains the terms and steps in ―Internationalization‖ and ―Localization,‖ with a few grisly details that are second nature to translation professionals, but which look like a black box to most of their clients. In Part II we describe where high localization costs come from, and what organizations can do about the side of the black box over which they do have some control. (When all is said and done, it still comes down to the first answer: Words.)Background: InternationalizationIt is best in the long run to first internationalize the software, as in the Portuguese example in Figure 1, so that no matter how it changes for user interface or business logic, the code base at the core of the product is always the same (sometimes called a single worldwide binary). To externalize those features and characteristics that can change from one region (or locale) to another—e.g., language, color scheme and accounting standards in software, or narrative examples, conditional text and legal text in documentation—is to place them in separate resource files that vary from locale to locale, then call them from a single, common code base.Figure 1This process of internationalization (or I18n, because there are 18 letters between the ―I‖ and the ―n‖) makes life easier for a number of people along the value chain.character set enabling, overall software architecture – but ultimately, companies internationalize their products not only because it’s better engineering, but also because they can reduce time to market and make/save more money in all regions.Of course, it’s nearly impossible to get I18n right the first time, and it usually requires multiple product cycles to refine the process, so the enlightened organization takes a long, patient view. Impatient organizations may leave locale-specific elements, such as strings or error messages, inside the code base, usually to get the English-language product to market in a hurry. This is not evil, but there are costs associated with it later in the process. Companies which outsource I18n effectively leave much of the process inside the black box. For those companies whose own engineers and writers internationalize their products, I18n is not so mysterious.Background: LocalizationFew companies, however, localize their products themselves, because few companies can justify the cost of keeping translators and localization engineers on staff. Localization (or L10n) is the process of delivering a product that meets the needs of users in a specific locale, and because most companies outsource this function, it usually lands squarely in the black box. The L10n process is not completely different from or contrary to the process of creating most technology deliverables. When the product has been properly internationalized, L10n is a parallel function that takes a copy of the resources from their normal flow in development, modifies the copy for the needs of a specific locale, and joins the original further downstream in the development flow (Figure 2).Figure 2There are a few localization concepts, however, which are alien to most people who build technology products, and these concepts are inside the black box. Key ConceptsGlossary (Terminology List)To ensure uniformity of translation throughout the product (and, as the international effort grows, throughout the company), it is a good practice to put in place a glossary, which contains approved translations of key words andphrases. A translation glossary gives the equivalent of the key terms in the target language.Figure 3The Explanation column in Figure 3 is very important for preserving contextual information for the benefit of the translators. Note also that the glossary plays the important role of dictating what should not be translated.Here are some key moments in the life of a glossary:1. Client hands off early version of product to localization vendor forcreation of glossary.2. Localization vendor compiles list of key terms, with contextualcomments.3. Client conducts training session for translators and editors (optional,and too often overlooked)4. Translator translates (or, in some cases, doesn’t translate) intotarget-language equivalents.5. Vendor returns glossary draft to client.6. Client sends glossary out for review by stakeholders most likely tocomplain about undesirable translations, in order to avoid thesecomplaints once the product has been released. (This is extremelyimportant, and should be performed by in-country partners andco-workers whose livelihood depends on the quality of the translation.)7. Client returns glossary comments to vendor, who incorporates them.8. Once approved, the glossary goes to translators, reviewers, editors andclient for continued reference.A typical glossary will contain a few dozen up to a few hundred terms.Simultaneous shipment (Sim-ship)Handing off resources for translation early in development allows the localization process to begin sooner, but the original resources are more likely to change and grow, requiring additional handoffs before release of the original. On the other hand, handing off the resources after the release of the original ensures that they are frozen, but delays the launch into the regional markets (see Figure 2).Simultaneous shipment in multiple languages is attainable, but it usually takes several localization cycles, as well as ironclad buy-in from upper management. The localization process needs to be an integral part of mainstream development so that changes to the original move quickly into the localized versions.Machine Translation (MT)The urge to automate as much of human effort as possible has also touched the specialty of translation. Since the 1950’s, the field of computational linguistics has contributed a great deal to the technology behind computerized translation, and the road ahead is filled with promise.In MT, the computer applies rules and algorithms for syntax, morphology, semantics and other rules to translate text into a destination language. Another approach uses statistical models to arrive at the most likely translation for the input text. Depending on the source-destination language-pair (some are better matched than others), the unedited result will almost always preserve meaning, but it will rarely be as natural as if translated by a human native speaker.Some localization vendors use MT as adjunct technology in their translation workflow. It can save money and time as an interim step to a post-translation editing pass, but by and large, human language is too old and MT not (yet) old enough for most clients to entrust completely the localization of, say, technical documentation entirely to a computer.Translation Memory (TM) and Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) Tools While also computer-based, these tools differ from Machine Translation. The goal of MT is for the computer to bear the brunt of the translation work, whereas TM and CAT tools help the translator do his/her own translating better, more accurately and faster. Localization vendors in the 21st century must use these tools not only to compete on price, but also to meet market expectations of consistency and quality of translation. Currently prominent products in theTM/CAT category include Catalyst, Déjà Vu, Passolo, SDLX and Trados, among many others.TM expands on the idea of the glossary. Beyond correlating a few dozen or hundred key terms, TM creates a one-to-one correlation between all of the source text and all of the destination text in the entire product and places these correlated pairs into a scalable database. Figure 4 shows source text on the left and destination text on the right.Figure 4The database may contain text from software resources, documentation, Web pages and marketing collateral, making all of it available as reference material to any translator working on any of these projects. In addition, fuzzy-matching algorithms rate approximate matches, so if the TM software finds similarity between a new sentence and another sentence already translated in thedatabase, it will suggest it to the translator with a percentage-rating of closeness.Benefits of TMSeveral compelling benefits can accrue to the organization with all (or even most) of its translation memory in a database.Analysis and cost estimates are more accurateAs observed somewhat ironically on page 2, the key metric in the cost of a localization project is Words. Before TM, it sufficed to estimate the wordcount of the entire project and multiply it by a price per word, but why pay tore-translate text that has already been translated, or which appears identically in many different places? With TM, it is possible to determine the wordcount of phrases and sentences that have already been translated, and thereby arrive at a more accurate cost estimate.Figure 5shows the analysis on a batch of ten new files submitted to a vendor for translation.• 38,891 words are in 4,130 repeated segments 1, or segments whichexactly match another segment in the ten files. The translator can translate the first occurrence of these segments and the TM software will propagate themthroughout the project. In addition, 4,674 words are ―placeable‖ (numbers, tags, symbols) and do not require translation.• In descending buckets from 100% down to 50%, there are a few hundred words in segments which have been translated before. These bucketsrepresent descending degrees of fuzzy match.• The software finds no match for segments containing 104,661 wo rds, so these must be translated from scratch. The 4,951 placeable words donot require translation.Many vendors offer discounts based on this analysis: The higher the percentage match bucket, the greater the discount on words in that bucket.• A 100% match means, of course, that no translation work is required, but the words in the 100% segments must still be ―touched‖ (engineering,desktop publishing, translation memory work, final review, QA), so fewvendors discount them entirely.• A 95-99% match often means that punctuation or the spelling of a single word has changed, or a word has been added or deleted, so a translator must do some light work on the segment and the vendor will discountthe segment slightly less.• Below 75% matches, however, discounts are less common because, by the time the translator has found and dealt with the differences between the old and the new text, s/he may as well translate it from scratch. The vendor can pre-translate new versionsBefore the new file has made it as far as the translator, the TM software will have pre-translated as many 100% matches as possible. For any segment that already has a match in the TM database, the software will retrieve and place the corresponding translation. This greatly reduces the translator’s work and shortens the time to deliver the completed product.In Figure 6, the Chinese segments marked with gold (lines 164-171 in the right-hand column) are 100% matches for the corresponding English segments on the left, which have been retrieved from TM and dropped into the translator’s work file in advance.Figure 6Translations enjoy leverage from one version to the nextSimilarly, the software identifies fuzzy matches and places them. The translator modifies the existing translation in light of how the source text has changed and adds the new segment to the TM database. This helps the translator spot English segments that have changed since the last time the product was translated.Figure 7In Figure 7, segment 174 reads ―You will be charged for this application.‖ The software found the closest fuzzy match (84%) and pre-translated it, tagging it green to call the translator’s attention to it. The TM Difference View window shows the very important change made to the English sentence since the last round of translation: The sentence now reads ―You will not be charged for this application.‖ The software provides enough of the original translation so that the translator does not need to start from scratch.The leverage from one version of the localized product to the next is a tremendous advantage of TM software. While it does not lower the overall wordcount of a product, it eliminates needless work for the translators and shortens time to market for the localized versions.All terms are available for lookup and concordance searchThe combination of the TM database and fuzzy matching also allows for concordance searches on specific text for similar, but not necessarily identical, occurrences.Figure 8In Figure 8 the translator has looked up ―Please try again later‖ in the TM database to see in how many different ways similar text has been translated in the past. This functionality goes deeper than that of a translation glossary because it broadens the subject of the lookup from key terms to common phrases, and the domain of lookup from the few hundred glossary terms to the entire TM database.Clients preserve history from one vendor to the nextFinally, the TM database represents a valuable asset if/when the time comes to change localization vendors. With TM, if a vendor goes out of business or is unable to scale to meet a client’s localization needs, the client can forward the TM database to the new vendor, who can then exploit the translation history with less delay.There may be technical limitations (different TM database formats) and legal issues (ownership of the TM database itself), but the larger the translation history, the smaller these issues look by comparison.A few more notes on TM• The real value in TM lies in its continued use over time. A sustainedinternational effort to deliver future versions of localized products willbenefit handsomely from TM. The organization interested in a one-time, quick-and-dirty translation will enjoy far fewer benefits.• Although TM saves a lot of work, it als o involves a lot of work for vendors.Some vendors bill for it directly and conspicuously, while others bill for it under general engineering costs. On balance, though, its benefitsoutweigh its costs, and there is almost no point in trying to save moneyby instructing the vendor not to use TM tools.• The client must bear in mind that translation memory tools are notmachine translation tools. As described above, MT tries to calculatetranslations of new text using rules and existing translations, whereasTM accumulates segment-by-segment history and assists humantranslators. While hybrid TM-MT solutions are becoming more popular,the industry is still a long way from reducing translation to a pure matter of software and hardware.• The client must b ear in mind the concept of the segment. TM looks forand matches text in entire segments because this is the lowest level ofgranularity which the software can use. For this same reason,wordcounts are a function of words in segments, as described in Figure5.Clients who do not understand the concept of the segment ask a verycommon question: ―My company and product name, Crunchware,appear 900 times in the product, and I want them preserved as―Crunchware‖ in all languages. Do I have to pay for that?‖ The answer is ―Sometimes.‖ If ―Crunchware‖ occurs as a segment all by itself in the TM database – and it probably does – then at all occurrences of thatsame segment there is no work for the translator to do, and the clientwill likely receive a steep discount for that 100% matched segment inevery place that ―Crunchware‖ appears alone. However, if―Crunchware‖ appears in a completely new sentence with 44 otherwords – like this sentence, for instance – then the software will report a 45-word segment with no match in TM, and the vendor will likely charge for 45 words at the full rate per word.SummaryA properly internationalized product is a delight to localize, because it involves no wasted effort in handoff, cost estimation, scheduling, translation, rebuilding, testing, release or support. It meets the needs of users in other regions with no changes to its core functionality, no patches, no bug lists, and no excuses. Enlightened organizations manage their own internationalization (I18n), which keeps it out of the black box.The black box looks black mostly because localization (L10n) takes place outside of the client’s organization and involves tools and skills rarely found inside the organization. The black box is not so much product development as product transformation, in which a familiar, English-original product becomes a French/Korean/Russian/Hebrew/... copy. Translation memory (TM) tools are at the heart of the transformation, keeping costs as low as possible and accelerating the work of translators.Although the L10n process seems trivial to many technology clients, there really is a great deal more to it than simply translating words from one language to another. Honest.。

Android会运行在许多地区的许多设备上。

为满足大多数用户的需要，应用程序应该使用与应用所在地区相适应的文本、音频文件、数字、货币符号、以及图形等。

本文档介绍Android应用程序本地化的最佳实践。

这个原则适用于你正在使用的任何IDE 开发工具，如带有ADT的Eclipse、基于Ant的工具等。

首先要掌握Java的编程知识，并且熟悉Android的资源加载过程，以及XML中用户界面元素的声明方法。

在开发方面要掌握Activity的生存周期以及国际化和本地化的一般原则。

使用Android资源框架把应用程序本地化的外观尽可能的与核心Java功能分离，是一个良好的实践。

1.可以把大多数或所有的应用程序的用户界面的内容放到资源文件中；2.用户界面的行为，以及其他处理，是通过Java代码来驱动的。

如，如果用户输入的数据需要依赖不同的地区来格式化或排序，那么就要使用Java代码来编程处理这些数据。

概要：Android中的资源切换资源是文本字符串、布局、声音、图形以及Android应用程序中需要的其他静态数据。

一个应用程序能够包含多个资源集，每个都是针对不同的设备配置来定制的。

当用户运行应用程序时，Android会自动的选择并加载跟设备最匹配的资源。

当编写应用程序时，需要创建一组默认的资源，外加用于不同地区的可选资源。

当用户运行应用程序时，Android系统会基于地区来选择加载合适的资源。

在编写应用程序时，要给应用程序创建默认和可选资源。

对于这些创建的资源，要把它们放到res/目录下，特定命名的子目录中的文件中。

为什么默认资源是重要的？当应用程序运行在一个没有提供特定语言文本的语言环境中时，Android会从res/values/strings.xml中加载默认的字符串。

如果默认的文件不存在，或者是缺少应用程序需要的字符串，那么应用程序就不会运行，并且会显示一个错误。

下面的示例演示了当默认文本文件不完整时所发生的问题：应用程序的Java代码只引用了两个字符串，text_a和text_b。

本土化翻译一、本土化翻译的定义与重要性本土化翻译，指的是在翻译过程中，不仅要准确传达原文的信息和意义，还要使译文在目标语言文化中得以自然、顺畅地传播和接受。

它强调在翻译过程中，充分考虑目标语言读者的文化背景、语言习惯和接受能力，使译文符合当地的风俗习惯和审美标准。

本土化翻译的重要性不言而喻，它能够有效提升译文在目标市场的接受度，扩大产品或服务在国际市场的竞争力。

二、本土化翻译的策略与方法1.文化适应：在翻译过程中，对原文进行适当的调整和修改，使之符合目标语言的文化特点。

例如，一些具有浓厚文化背景的词汇、成语和谚语，需要在翻译时加以解释或寻找与之对应的目标语言表达。

2.语言习惯调整：在保证译文准确性的基础上，尽量使译文符合目标语言的语法结构、词汇搭配和表达方式。

例如，英语和汉语在表达方式上存在很大差异，翻译时要注意调整句子结构和语序，使译文更自然。

3.信息增删：在保证原文信息传递的前提下，根据目标语言的表达习惯，对原文进行适当的增删。

例如，一些在我国特有的政策、制度或术语，在翻译时可以进行简化或概括，以便目标语言读者理解。

三、我国本土化翻译的现状与发展随着我国国际地位的不断提升，国内外交流日益频繁，本土化翻译在我国也得到了广泛关注和发展。

目前，我国本土化翻译已涉及到多个领域，如文学、影视、广告、企业文档等。

然而，与西方发达国家相比，我国本土化翻译在理论研究、技术应用和实践经验方面仍有较大差距。

因此，本土化翻译在我国仍有很大的发展空间。

四、本土化翻译案例分析以我国电影《哪吒之魔童降世》为例，其在国外的推广和传播过程中，进行了充分的本土化翻译。

不仅在剧情、人物设定等方面进行了文化适应，还将中国特色的元素如神话传说、传统服饰等进行了恰当的呈现。

此外，该片在台词和歌词翻译上，也尽量保持了原文的风趣幽默，使国外观众能够更好地感受到中国电影的魅力。

五、提升本土化翻译能力的建议1.加强本土化翻译理论研究：深入探讨本土化翻译的原理、方法和技巧，为实践提供理论支持。

本地化翻译(Localization)语言：认识繁体中文(Traditional Chinese)本地化翻译(Localization)语言：认识繁体中文(Traditional Chinese)对于中文本地化市场而言，繁体中文(Traditional Chinese) 是有别于简体中文(Simplified Chinese) 的另一个最为重要的本地化目标语言。

繁体中文材料的目标受众主要是居住在中国台湾、香港、澳门地区以及北美等部分海外华人社区的用户。

尽管以繁体中文为母语的人数有限，但由于台湾等地区科技较为先进，IT 业和制造业相对较为发达，因此以繁体中文为目标语言的本地化项目需求量也很大。

1. 繁体中文与简体中文的由来繁体中文即传统上的中华文化中所使用的中文书写体系，目前已有二千年以上的历史。

将台湾、香港等地区一致沿用至今的未经简化处理的传统汉字称作繁体中文(Traditional Chinese)。

由于历史和政治方面的原因，从上世纪50 年代开始，大陆官方在繁体中文的基础上对部分汉字做了简化处理，形成了新的中文书写标准，即简体中文(Simplified Chinese)。

2. 繁体中文与简体中文的区别2.1 目标受众的不同简体中文主要在中国大陆、马来西亚、新加坡，以及东南亚的一些华人社区中使用。

而繁体中文主要在中国台湾、香港与澳门地区，以及北美等部分海外华人社区中使用。

过去简体中文与繁体中文并存于联合国各式文件中，随着中华民国于1971 年退出联合国后，目前联合国的文件已不再使用繁体中文。

2.2 词汇表述的不同中国大陆和中国台湾在20 世纪中叶因政治原因彼此分隔，之后一段时间交流甚少，造成了用词习惯的差异。

从上世纪80 年代开始，随着计算机技术的普及和大量IT 术语的使用，这种差异性表现得尤为明显。

即，同一英文单词对应的简体中文与繁体中文的译文完全不同。

因此，对于繁体中文翻译，绝不可简单地理解为只是将简体字转换为相应的繁体字那么简单。
