Jiva deals with the localization processes, and localization quality assurance for multilingual websites. This will address many localization and internationalization issues for international websites. Multilingual websites require proper internationalization and localization of not only HTML/XML, but also any applets, servlets and other CGI applications, database servers, etc. Finally, outsourcing of website localization requires a different model due to the volatility of web content and the mix of translated and locale specific content. The presenter will integrate the translations into the regional language websites.
