Abstract: Techniques provide a framework for dynamic globalization enablement for an application during software development. A globalization development operation information system (GDOIS) retrieves source code for the application, which is assigned to support specified globalization features. The GDOIS evaluates the source code for each of the plurality of specified globalization features. Upon determining that the source code does not include at least a first specified globalization feature, the GDOIS identifies an application programming interface (API) associated with the feature. The GDOIS inserts source code associated with the API into the source code for the application.
