In order to ensure that your Slovenian software translation
is accurate and fully adapted to Slovenia, you must have your software fully
"globalized." While the term "globalization" has many
definitions outside of the translation services industry, inside the industry
it refers to the basic process of creating software that functions in any
market in the world.
Not every translation company is equipped to perform
Slovenian software translation, with its many complexities. When searching for
a company to translate your software into Slovenian, you should investigate
their capabilities in the following areas:
1. Slovenian Software Translators
Slovenian software translation projects should be executed
by professional, native-speaking software translators who specialize in the
specific professional and technical areas of your company. They should be
experienced with issues related to software translation in particular, such as
the proper translation of dialog boxes, error messages, and buttons, standard
user interface terminology, and software localization workflows.
2. Slovenian Software Terminology
Management
Slovenian software translators should utilize translation
memory tools such as Trados to translate the text strings that have been
externalized from the various file formats, resulting in client-specific
glossaries and terminology databases. The valuable data contained in the
translation memories, which becomes the proprietary property of the client,
ensures consistent translations throughout the components, and creates an
authentic user experience.
3. Slovenian Software Component
Translation
Frequently, a Slovenian software translation project will
also involve translation of related components such as online help and printed
documentation such as user guides or packaging. Your software translation
company should have the capability to translate text from such source files as
Java, VB and ASP, XML and ASP, C/C++, Visual Basic, Oracle, Microsoft SQL
Server, and others. Common documentation file types include FrameMaker,
InDesign, QuarkXpress, Illustrator, and Word.
