DTI provides multimedia and video game software for a variety of languages. DTI also provides a localization service to adapt the software to a new language, or for a specific region. The localization process consists of translating or adapting the text, graphic and sound content for a specific region or language.

Process overview
When a localization request is made, the software content document is sent to translation services. Once the translation is completed, the graphic artist creates the required graphics (images, animations and fonts) and imports them in BIS (Broadcast Interactive Studio) as a language/region specific sub-project. The same process is completed for the text and the sound content. The programmer recompiles the content and applies source code changes if required, and the software is sent to SQA (Software Quality Assurance). Once approved by SQA, the software is sent to the customer for final approval. If required, changes are made following the same process until we get the final approval from the customer.

Technology
The BIS helps manage multiple versions of the software, and generates the associated content for a specific sub-project and a specific IFE platform. The software can than be released in English, with separate files (one per additional language) containing only the content required to run in a different language.

Advantage
These processes and technologies reduce time efforts, and provide higher quality results. The released software requires less memory space and downloads faster. The SQA process ensures top quality translation and multimedia content.

Examples
Whether it is for Latin or non-Latin languages, DTI has prior experience in more than 20 different languages.

Note: Some limitations may apply on branded software and older IFE systems.
