Slovenian Web site globalization (G11n) is a two-step
process, including Slovenian Web site internationalization (I18n) and Slovenian
Web site localization (L10n). Web site internationalization deals primarily
with the functionality of a Web site, enabling back-end technologies to
function or support any language and locale, in this case, Slovenian.
Localization deals primarily with the front-end or linguistic and cosmetic
aspects of a Web site, including locale-specific content, cultural correctness,
translations, and site design.
Whether your project is simple (such as a straight
HTML-based Slovenian Web site) or complex (such as a dynamic, database-driven
Slovenian Web application), the Web site internationalization process is the
first step in ensuring your Web site's global interoperability. During
Slovenian Web site internationalization, any language- or culture-specific
assumptions in your Web site's code base is "neutralized"; your Web
site will then be primed for efficient localization into Slovenian.
Your localization company should have solid experience in
handling Slovenian Web site internationalization issues, including:
- Reviewing and analyzing the source Web site;
- Resolving issues related to Slovenian address, time, date, and numerical formats;
- Externalizing text strings for ease of Slovenian translation;
- Web site testing, including bug reporting and fixing.
You will need to provide your localization company with the
following information, collectively referred to as a "Web site
Internationalization Kit." This information allows your localization
company to analyze your Web site and to determine its Slovenian
internationalization requirements. This kit includes:
- URL of the Web site(s).
- Any passwords or login instructions.
- Summary of Web site architecture.
- Summary of any technologies and/or development tools used to develop the Web site.
- Any source code for the Web site including HTML/XML, Web-driven applications, applets, database servers, multimedia products such as FLASH presentations, and Web applications such as online calculators or surveys.
