• Internationalization, or I18N, is the process of generalizing a product so that it can handle multiple languages and cultural conventions without the need for re-design.
• Internationalization takes place at the level of program design.

Some real time myths about Globalization
Testing
Myth# 1- Globalization testing is not Technical enough
Myth# 2 -Security Testing is from Mars and Globalization testing is from Venus
• Threats to International ApplicationsVisual ThreatsNon Visual threats

• Non-Visual ThreatsSecurity considerations based on Functional

Myth# 3- Globalization testing is majorly about testing the UI
Unicode Clean
Hard coding
Regional issues
Myth# 4- It is not possible to find the Localization bugs before actual
translation takes place.
Text Truncation
Control Overlapping
Globalization Process- A Bird’s Eye view
Pseudo translation - Example
Source Text = “Enable Session reliability”
Issues to look for :
Pseudo translated text = “[Лаз ÜÝß Ènãblê Sèssìón rèlîàbîlîty ЙЦУ ]”
Hardcoding: “Enable Session reliability”
Probable Truncation : “[Лаз ÜÝß Ènãblê Sèssìón rèlîàbîlîty ”
Character Corruption :“[||аз ÜÝß Ènãblê Sèssìón rèlîàbîlîty |#У ]”
Pseudo Translation – In Action
Pseudo Translate
Character corruption - Question marks- Sometimes Questions marks appear (?????) in the UI instead of displaying the correct text– This generally indicates a problem in the Unicode to ANSI conversion.
Character corruption- Font display- Vertical bars, boxes and tildes (│, □, ~) indicates that the selected font cannot display some of the characters.
Myth# 5- If a test case works fine in French language, it will work fine in
German language as well
Myth# 6 - A person who doesn't know French cannot test the French version of
the Software
Myth# 7- If i dont know French at all, i can still effectively test a French application
Myth# 8 - Testing International applications using "Microsoft's MUI
(Multilingual User Interface) Pack" or "Localized OS installation" means one and
the same thing
Myth# 9 -The language verification of User Interface can be done by comparing
the text on screen with translation outputs of any freely available Online
translator.
