Question 1 • Introduction to Computer Science B – 4-232

Which of the following statements about localization are true? Select 2 options.

Answer
A
For consistency, it is a good idea to use dollars as a currency in all versions of an application.
B
Really the only issue in localization is translating the text into another language.
C
The goal of localization is to create an application or site that looks and feels like it was created for a specific market.
D
It is a good idea to use lots of images, since they are easily understood by all cultures.
E
You should avoid slang and idioms, since they will not be understandable to many audiences.

Explanation

Localization adapts an application or site so it feels natural to people in a specific market, which is the goal described in choice C. It involves more than translating text: currency, cultural references, and other details may need to change. Slang and idioms can be difficult to translate or understand across cultures, so avoiding them is a good practice, as choice E says.
