localization style guides online
Tuesday, August 29th, 2006Just came across an article by Sean Lee about Korean localization (with z) in the last Multilingual. One rather interesting item mentioned in the article are the Sun localization style guides which are available for download on the GNOME Localization site. Those guides are the ones that Sun provides the translators with (and obviously also some technical authors, because there is an English document too), but overall they are fairly generic so that they can be used for other localization projects too. The languages available are:
English guide to writing for Sun, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. Not what I would call a compelling read, but certainly very interesting for any translator working in the field.
