The Research And Application Of Software Internationalization Based On Perl Script

With the global level of information improves continuously, the communication of the world becomes more and more frequent. All countries are urgent in expanding their software market at home with international standards. How to keep the number of changes as small as possible, reduce the redundant work, and improve efficiency of software development is the key to studying software internationalization.The paper mainly studies the development and testing of software. The writer focuses on the following:(1)It mainly analyzes the characteristics and techniques of software internationalization and localization. Compared with all character encoding standards, it uses the Unicode that is suitable and sets the environment of local language.(2)It develops a scheme of software internationalization based on perl script. It marks and extracts the string of language information and separates the localized resources with the code. For saving in repetitiveness of translation, it uses perl script to optimize the process of information extraction, performs a search-and-replace of the duplicated strings, which improves the efficiency of software localization.(3)It summarizes the differences of user interface. It uses mirroring technology to develop different user interface to satisfy languages and layout accordingly. Then it tests in different software and accomplishes software internationalization.(4) It proposes a scheme to test errors and defects of international software so that it can eliminate the problems of interface disorders and language errors when localizing, assuring internationalization support of software.The paper studies the methods and applications of software internationalization. It proposes the scheme of software internationalization based on perl script, which has the advantages of high efficiency and large using range and it’s a good use of reference for software that supports multiple languages.
