human languagehas localization issues
  • Different languages will require different amounts of space to say the same thing, so do not rely on screen layouts to remain the same
  • The order of parts of a sentence may change, so do not rely on constructing text by putting together substrings
  • Employ a skilled technical translator to translate text, and ensure he or she actually runs the system in both languages to verify it
