  • Patent number: 8219907
    Abstract: A localization development system includes a platform that receives information to be localized to a target market that is distinct from a source market for which the information was originally authored. The platform calculates a recycle rate for the received information. The recycle rate is indicative of a portion of the information that has already been localized to the target market before the information to be localized was received from an authoring component.

  • Patent number: 7774195
    Abstract: A localization platform is used to localize data to one or more distinct markets. A matching component receives data to be localized and accesses different localization components and returns localized data corresponding to the input data. A data gathering component receives localized content from an input source that is external to the localization platform along with metadata that identifies the particular input source that provided the localized content. The data gathering component then only allows the particular input source that provided the localized content to modify that localized content.

  • Patent number: 7698126
    Abstract: Embodiments of a localization system are disclosed. In one embodiment, a plurality of localization components provide localized data that is localized to one or more distinct markets. A translation matching component receives a localization request corresponding to input data to be localized. The translation matching component accesses the plurality of localization components based on the localization request. The translation matching component selects and outputs localized data from one or more of the plurality of localization components based on pre-determined criteria. In one embodiment, the translation matching component selects the localized data based on a time required to obtain the localized data. In another embodiment, the localization components provide confidence scores associated with the localized data, the translation matching component selecting the localized data based on the confidence scores.

  • Patent number: 7653528
    Abstract: The present specification provides a system and method for localizing data. In one embodiment, a localization platform is provided and is operably coupled to an operating system. The localization platform includes a plurality of localization components providing localized data that is localized to one or more distinct markets. The localization platform also includes an ontology store storing ontology information and a translation matching component configured to receive a localization request corresponding to input data to be localized. The translation matching component is configured to access the plurality of localization components and the ontology store based on the localization request. The translation matching component selects and outputs localized data from one or more of the plurality of localization components based on predetermined criteria.
