I18N Testing

Products developed in one location are used all over the world with different languages and regional standards. This arises the need to test product in different languages and different regional standards. Multilingual and localization testing can increase your products usability and acceptability worldwide.

Internationalization testing is the process, which ensures that product’s functionality is not broken and all the messages are properly externalized when used in different languages and locale. Internationalization testing is also called I18N testing, because there are 18 characters between I and N in Internationalization.

Internationalization, Globalization and Localization, all these words are normally used together. Though the objective of these word is same, that is to make sure that product is ready for the global market, but they serve different purpose and have different meaning.
