Trends `Developing nations must become localisers' Our Bureau
New Delhi , Dec. 8 MOOTING a `local-to-global' approach for localisation, IT secretary, Mr Brijesh Kumar on Wednesday urged developing nations and communities not to remain mere recipients of content localised by others but to become localisers themselves and make their products accessible to all. "Currently localisation is top-down: US driven. Global icons suppress local contents and create accidental web. But localisation approach must be from local-to-global. It must fundamentally change, look for new markets and cost models, must use reusable components, handle locale-specific issues such as date, time, colour-schemes, hand signals, gestures, sound and historical data," Mr Kumar said while inaugurating International Summit on Localisation organised by hardware association MAIT here.
