Description
Written with small to medium software producers in mind, "Software Sans Frontiers" tackles generic issues such as software structures, organizational adaptation and linguistic tools. It is written by a collective team of authors with both a wide range of cultural and linguistic backgrounds and experience of creating software for international markets. The book shows developers how to produce software that will run anywhere in the world without requiring expansive, time-consuming recompiling of source code. The book includes character encoding tables: details for conventions and cultural characteristics of a variety of languages; and a thorough review of support tools (such as machine translation tools), all of which provide a practical guide to software designers.
