Abstract: Applications can be localized by localization experts to allow them to be used by a broader customer base. The localization can be done given interface context to produce more applicable results. A localization expert may determine that certain content within the interface context should be localized, however is not localizable by the expert. The localization expert may indicate that the content is localizable and the developer may receive the indication and provide the localization expert with updated interface context allowing localization of the previously un-localizable content.

Abstract: An application is localized by providing an editable, WYSIWYG localization interface to a localization expert. The localization interface is based upon context information extracted from the application interface being localized. The localization can be made more accurately and effectively because the localization expert can see the surrounding context and understand how and when the localized element will be presented to users.

Abstract: Applications can be localized by localization experts to allow them to be used by a broader customer base. The localization can be done given resource files containing localization resources. A localization resource may contain a programming component and non-programming component. The non-programming component can be sent to a machine localizer. The machine localizer may provide a plurality of localizations corresponding to a plurality of languages based on the non-programming component of the localization resource. A plurality of localized applications can be complied based on the localized non-programming components and the original programming component.

Abstract: Applications can be localized by localization experts to allow them to be used by a broader customer base. The localization can be done given interface context to produce more applicable results. Multiple localization experts may be given an editable interface of the application and may provide multiple localizations based on the editable interface of the application. Multiple evaluators may evaluate the localizations provided by the multiple localization experts. Multiple developers may extract localization data and the localization data may be incorporated into the application and may result in a localized application.

Abstract: Applications can be localized by localization experts to allow them to be used by a broader customer base. The localization can be done given interface context to produce more applicable results. Context information showing the actions captured as the application is in use can be given to a localization expert by providing the localization expert multiple snapshots of the application in use. The multiple snapshots can convey more information than other forms of context information as they can show use over time. A localization edit based on the multiple snapshots can be used to localize an application.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and circuitry to save power in a synchronous logic ASIC with low overhead. The scan chain(s) and boundary scan mechanism of the synchronous logic ASIC are used and modified for shifting out current states of internal memory devices of the synchronous logic ASIC to an external memory and for retaining the power-off blocks' primary output values to the memory devices of the boundary scan circuit, so the proposed gated power method is efficient and low overhead in the synchronous, flop-based, logic circuit design.

Abstract: The invention provides a method to reduce the computation complexity by performing the motion estimation in the frequency domain with tiny hardware overhead and a little modification of the video compression algorithms. Since human eyes are not so sensitive in the high frequency range as in the low frequency range, the present invention only takes low frequency information for finding the motion vector in motion estimation.
