Optimizacija procesa lokalizacije programskega produkta : diplomsko delo

Vehar, Matej (author), Lavbič, Dejan (mentor), Fišer, Darja (comentor)

Pri distribuciji programske opreme na mednarodnih trgih se pojavi potreba po prilagoditvi programskih produktov, s čimer zagotovimo, da so dostopni in uporabni uporabnikom v različnih kulturnih in jezikovnih okoljih. Se posebno je ta potreba izrazita pri aplikacijah, ki so namenjene končnim uporabnikom, saj neposredno vpliva na uporabniško izkušnjo. Boljša kot je izkušnja ob uporabi določenega programa, več uporabnikov se bo odločalo za njeno uporabo. Velik del priprave programskega produkta za mednarodni trg predstavlja proces lokalizacije vmesnika. V prvem delu diplomskega dela bomo predstavili, kako umestiti proces prevajanja v razvoj programske opreme. Na primeru izbranega podjetja bomo predstavili težave, s katerimi se soočajo pri implementaciji procesa. Z zamenjavo orodja za lokalizacijo programske opreme smo poskusili del teh težav odpraviti. Kako je potekal postopek izbire novega orodja, bo predstavljeno v osrednjem delu, ki mu na koncu sledi analiza izbranega orodja ter analiza sprememb na proces prevajanja.

• Title: Optimization of software product localization process

Abstract

In order to facilitate the distribution of software on international markets, adaptation of software products is required. This is especially important for end-user applications which need to be accessible and usable in different cultural and linguistic environments. The various steps taken to make software fit for foreign markets are collectively called software localization. The integration of the localization process into the software development cycle is presented in the first part of the thesis. A case study of a prominent Slovenian software company was used to identify the key issues with the implementation of the process and to propose an alternative tool for software localization management. The selection process is presented in the second part of the thesis, followed by an analysis of the selected solution as well as the changes in the localization process in order to evaluate whether the identified shortcomings were mitigated successfully.
