This webinar explores how to approach localisation systematically, from both business and technical perspectives. Nokia’s Jure Sustersic and Get Localization’s , Jari Herrgård demonstrate how to efficiently localise your apps. They focus on apps for the new Nokia Asha phones, but also touch on how to use the same services and resources to localise your apps for Nokia Lumia phones. The Get Localization service, the Get Localization Sync plug-in for Nokia Asha SDK 1.0, and how to localise your apps by using your people, your community, and paid translators are covered.
