what is Globalization testing?

Answer Posted / g.mallikarjun

Globalization:
Globalization is the process of designing and developing a
software product that functions in multiple
cultures/locales.
A culture/locale is a set of rules and a set of data that
are specific to a given language and geographic area.
Globalization Testing:
The goal of globalization testing is to
detect potential problems in application design that could
inhibit globalization. It makes sure that the code can
handle all international support without breaking
functionality that would cause either data loss or display
problems. Globalization testing checks proper functionality
of the product with any of the culture/locale settings
using every type of international input possible and this
involves integrating localization throughout a company as
well as marketing, sales and support in the world market.
Globalization Testing includes:
->System locale settings
->System Locale
->User Locale
->Input Locale
->Location or Geographic ID
->UI Language
->Browser locale setting.
->Identifying the culture/locale that must be supported.
->Character classification.
->Date and time formatting.
->Numeric, currency, and measure conventions.
->Sorting rules.
