Posted by John Yunker

The Localization Industry Standards Assocation (LISA) offers a free localization primer available for download. The guide is available in 9 languages, including Arabic.

Over 52 pages, the guide covers the following topics:

  • Doing Business in a Global World

  • Localization Tools and Technologies

  • Localization Costing and Pricing

  • Best Practices and Standards

  • Future Trends and Challenges

I found this exhibit particularly interesting:

The primer is well worth a download. Registration is required for the English-language edition.
