Software Internationalization - Theory and Practice
(with examples from Microsoft(R) Windows(TM))


This video tape is written by and stars Dr. Bill Hall,
one of the industry's leading experts on software
internationalization.  It is 80 minutes in length.

The video tape meets the needs of companies designing
and selling products in the world market.  Not just
software companies, but also companies with
international operations or divisions / subsidiaries.

It presents information useful not just to engineers,
but also to other people who need to know about
internationalization:
*	top and middle management
*	marketing
*	sales
*	S/W test and Quality Assurance
*	publications

The tape has a motivational introduction that explains
why the world market is financially important and why
products must be designed with it in mind.  It also
presents an overview to the world's languages and
writing systems, since many people (particularly
engineers) are only monolingual or bilingual, and so
people can understand the basis for differing
information display requirements in a variety of
languages, locales and cultures.

Much of the material is presented from a conceptual
point of view, and is therefore operating system and
programming language independent.

As the tape explains, Microsoft Windows is an excellent
platform for the development of localized software.
Many dramatic examples are presented in
*	English and other European languages
*	Arabic
*	Japanese
*	Korean


The tape's presentation and point of view is also
unique.  The tape has an eight part dialog in question-
and-answer format between Dr. Hall and a less
experienced colleague who wants to "do the right
thing."  The role of Dr. Hall's colleague is played by
an intelligent, attractive young woman who is a
graduate of Stanford University's Business School.  She
asks many questions the viewer can identify with.  The
tape is highly watchable, not just a "talking head in a
suit."

The tape has sections on the following topics:

*	Character Sets and Writing Systems
*	Language Modules
*	Locale-dependent information
*	DOS and Windows
*	Keyboards
*	Double Byte Character Set processing
*	Far Eastern Keyboards
*	Tips and Techniques
