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
