Internationalizing Your Content: Authoring with Localization in Mind

摘要

This discussion is structured around my experience working with companies who are authoring content destined for localization. Beyond the five steps detailed in this paper, I will present three related case studies which will illustrate how I have worked with three individual companies to incorporate best practices in authoring into their processes. Each company's case begins with a unique starting point as well as varied writing team organization, localization objectives and resource availability. Technical communicators working with small, mid-size and large companies who are targeting international markets can benefit from these strategies.
