Localization Testing Facts You Need to Know

We use localization testing to ensure that a product is suitable for a particular culture or location.

Specifically, the testing focuses on the local version of the product, ensuring that users in that specific location can effectively utilize the application. This testing involves checking various aspects such as the user interface, language vocabulary, currency format, and date and time formats that are relevant to the country in question.

For instance, QQ, a social media platform designed for Chinese users, supports the Chinese language and incorporates other unique characteristics tailored to the Chinese market.

Features of Localization Testing:

Localized user interface: By examining how the local influences the user interface, we create a user interface that can be considered comfortable for specific people.

Localized content: We tailor the application’s various contents to the local culture and conduct a test to ensure its acceptability to locals.

Specific Language: We run a test to determine which languages the application supports, in order to determine whether the software is compatible with the language of a specific region.

Hardware Compatibility: We carry out a hardware compatibility test to determine if the software and hardware are compatible with the region in question.

Localization Testing Process:

Set up the test environment: First and foremost, we establish a testing environment to conduct a high-quality testing process. This aids in the development of a high-quality software testing procedure.

Select a product: Select the product for which localization testing will be carried out. As a result, testing is focused on the product.

Generate Script: We generate the script in accordance with the area and specific culture. For example, the language for a US-specific application is English.

Comparison:We compare the inbuilt attributes and the local attributes to check the quality of the software. For instance, we compare the user interface or language to ensure they correspond to a given location.

Analysis and Result: After completing the comparison testing process, we evaluate its success. Additionally, we send the results to the development team for consideration on various elements of the application.
