Localization World Taxonomy
The organizers of Localization World have developed a localization taxonomy to help active participants as well as first-time visitors find their way around the world of localization. Issues are classified in three broad topics: Functions, Industries and Geographies. This classification is used both in the Localization World Network — where it will help you identify fellow travelers and network with others who share your interests — as well as in the Localization World program where each session is "tracked" according to the taxonomy.
Localization Functions include:
| Localization Business |
Localization Business — benchmarking, business models, markets and trends, vendor relations, case studies |
| Translation Automation |
Translation Automation — Machine translation, translation memory, workflow automation, terminology automation |
| Authoring & Content Management |
Authoring & Content Management — quality standards, web standards, interchange standards |
| Localization Process |
Localization Process — authoring, content engineering and management, terminology management, quality management, project management, Web globalization, customer support |
| Standards |
Standards & Organizations — quality standards, web standards, interchange standards |
| Geographies |
