Spanish Localization

Spanish localization is means of adapting computer software for non-native environments, especially other Hispanic nations and cultures. Spanish Localization is the process of adapting the software to be as familiar as possible to a specific locale, by displaying text in the local Spanish language and using local conventions for the display of such things as units of measurement.

The Spanish localization includes treatment of the following components:

• The Spanish Language itself

• Systems of numerals

• Spelling variants for different countries where Spanish is spoken, e.g. Argentinean Spanish vs Mexican Spanish

• Graphical representations of text (printed materials, online images containing text)

• Spoken (Audio)

• Subtitling of film and video

• Date/time format

• Formatting of numbers (decimal points, positioning of separators, character used as separator)

• Time zones (UTC in internationalized environments)

• Currency

• Images and colors: issues of comprehensibility/cultural appropriateness

• Names and titles

• Government assigned numbers (such as the Social Security number in the US, National ID in Mexico) and passports

• Telephone numbers, addresses and international postal codes

• Weights and measures

• Paper sizes

• Language translation

• National varieties of Spanish

• Local customs

• Local content

• Aesthetics

• Cultural values and social context
