By Siti Nur Aryani | Published 11/11/2010 | Localization and Globalization | Recommendation:
Technology not only affects the mutation of the use of terms, but also (this is somewhat unique) to slight limitation on use of text language (written language) with spoken language.

The written spoken-language is characterized by spoken pronouncing but in written form. This is contrast sharply different from the formal language which the use is very concerned about the rules of language while written oral language far from the rule.

» Internationalization in Localization
By Sahar Bajelani | Published 09/5/2010 | Localization and Globalization | Recommendation:
Discussing about localization, some basic terms like Distribution, Internationalization, and Globalization emerge. At the first glance, they seem to be easily understandable, but when it comes to define them in the field of language and translation they show that they are terms. It is very important for every specialist to be familiar with exact meaning of terms in his/her interested field. This article tries to define the exact meaning of the term ‘Internationalization’ in the field of language and translation.
