Localization (often referred to as "L10N") is the process of making an application usable within a particular market. This is a critical step in any successful expansion implementation. Unfortunately, few companies have access to native speakers in such markets to verify the accuracy and context of the localization process. As a result, they launch apps and sites that confound their target users.
With uTest, companies gain access to a worldwide community of native speakers for languages such as Spanish, Italian, French, German, Japanese and Mandarin to test localized content such as:
Content – Static & dynamic content such as product catalogs, search results, etc.
Dates – Is the date January 1 or 1 January?
Characters – Different languages have different sets of characters.
Postal codes – In some countries, postal codes contain letters.
Phone numbers – Different formats for different markets.
Direction – Some languages are written left to right, other languages are right to left.
