Addressing Data Quality Issues in Internationalization and Localization for e-Learning

This presentation by Rui Figueira explores the essential processes of internationalization (i18n) and localization (L10n) in the context of e-learning and data quality challenges. It discusses how software can be designed to adapt to various languages and regions while highlighting significant data quality issues, such as character encoding and formatting discrepancies across systems. By focusing on effective e-learning strategies, including content translation and subtitle addition, the presentation offers solutions for enhancing platform support in diverse linguistic environments.

  2. Internationalization / localization Concepts Internationalization (i18n) is the process of designing a software application so that it can be adapted to various languages and regions without engineering changes. Localization (L10n) is the process of adapting internationalized software for a specific region or language by adding locale-specific components and translating text. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalization_and_localization

  10. Internationalization / localization Data quality issues Special characters (ã, õ, ö, ç, á, à, ä...), number formats, data formats may not be correctly interpreted in excel using default options; Same data from different providers, with native systems not supporting different keyboard languages DBMS issues in configuring character sets Differences between Operating Systems or applications Application development support for i18n No reference to this problems in the GBIF data quality manual
