Introducing easyLT™: The Ultimate Localization Testing

A brief overview of localization testing challenges

In today’s globalized digital landscape, the significance of localization testing cannot be overstated. Lingoport’s research brings to light a compelling fact: addressing localization issues during testing can be up to ten times more cost-effective than post-launch fixes, to be precise, it costs times more to fix bugs on live products than if they were fixed during the localization testing phase. Yet, even with sophisticated localization processes and expert linguists, products often need help with in-context linguistic defects. This underscores a crucial gap in the localization landscape, particularly in providing comprehensive visual contexts, like screenshots, to translators working on apps, software, or video games. Despite advances in Translation Management Systems (TMS) and integration with UXs like Figma and Sketch, many projects still lack sufficient visual references, leading to persistent localization challenges. 

The Challenges at Hand 

Localization testing (LT) is hailed for its potential to pinpoint localization discrepancies, allowing testers to view content as it would appear to the end-user, in context and, depending on the testing type, in-flow. 

However, traditional approaches to LT are fraught with hurdles: 

  • Cost Perception: Many companies view localization as a significant addition to project budgets, deterring comprehensive testing efforts. 
  • Resource Allocation: Effective localization testing demands substantial support from various departments, often stretched thin by their primary responsibilities, to provide essential resources like screenshots, test cases, and testing environments. 
  • Agility and Productivity: Customization is vital in localization testing due to varying product requirements. However, lacking agile is that cater to specific needs without imposing high costs can severely hamper productivity. The complexity of juggling translations and reference materials across multiple windows further exacerbates this issue. 
  • Reporting and Accuracy: Relying on conventional s not designed explicitly for localization testing often leads to inaccurate and error-laden reports, increasing friction and reinforcing the abovementioned challenges.
