20150309993 | Agile Enterprise Globalization - Software globalisation is the process of creating a version of the underlying software that is meant for consumption in another country. Companies typically do this by first going through a costly and cumbersome development stage where the programmers manually separate all the text from the rest of the screens, set them aside in ‘resource’ files and write code to retrieve those strings one at a time. Only then can the resource files be given to human translators to translate and the reintegration and preview process of those files is slow and difficult. The present invention is a system that renders the screens of an application ‘editable’ so that globalization professionals can make their translations and other market-specific alterations directly on the screens themselves, completely bypassing this stage of developer preparation, and enabling an immediate preview, and live release, of those changes. It can also do this without resorting to localization proxy servers, a technique emerging recently that to some degree eliminates the coding stage of software globalization, but that forces a cached view of the page and thereby limits the practicality of such a no-coding approach. | 10-29-2015 |
