Localize all your Oracle Applications without modifying their source code

Why localising your software? Overcome cultural differences (Asiatic/Arabic languages) Increase productivity of operators and end-user Opening of a new market (American companies in Europe) Translation in local company-language 51% of Internet users worldwide do not speak nor fully understand English Users stay TWICE as long and are THREE times as likely to make a purchase from a Web site in their OWN language

Problems to face when localising… Development & maintenance of linguistic versions is a costly process Adding new languages later can be a nightmare Support of Asiatic/Arabic languages Additional cost for developers External elements cannot be translated anyway If speed is a strategic issue, the constraint of multilingual support can slow down the process Quality of automatic translation is not very high …
