An American multinational software corporation headquartered in Redmond, Washington that develops, manufactures, licenses, and supports a wide range of products and services related to computing.
The ordering used to display glyphs on a screen, printed page, or other medium. Usually used with bidirectional text, because reordering is required to go from logical order to visual order. See logical order.
Industry:Software; Translation & localization
(1) An element, such as a string, icon, bitmap, cursor, dialog, accelerator, or menu, that is included in a Windows resource (.RC) file. (2) Any item that needs to be translated.
Industry:Software; Translation & localization
The overall direction of a sequence of text. Whereas words in a given script always flow in the direction associated with that script (for example, LTR for Latin, RTL for Arabic and Hebrew), the flow of the sentence itself depends on the reading order. For example, a mixture of Arabic and French text can be regarded as French-embedded in an overall Arabic sentence, implying RTL reading order, or as Arabic-embedded in French, implying LTR reading order.
Industry:Software; Translation & localization
(1) Characters above the ASCII range (32 through 127) in single-byte character sets. (2) Accented characters.
Industry:Software; Translation & localization
The point of interaction between systems or applications that use different character encodings.

(1) In C/C++ programming, attributes contain information or parameters that define object classes property and/or behaviors. (2) In HTML, an attribute is a parameter that defines a special property of an HTML element. Attributes are specified within start tags. For example, <IMG SRC=“image.gif”> means that the element IMG has an attribute called “SRC,” which is assigned the indicated value. (3) In XML, an attribute is similar to HTML attributes, but describes additional properties on any XML element.
Industry:Software; Translation & localization
(1) Putting string or character literals in the main body of code, such as the .C files or the .H files, instead of in external resource files. (2) Basing numeric constants on the assumed length of a string or having any assumptions about language- or culture-specific matters fixed in the code (such as length of strings, formats of dates, and so on).
Industry:Software; Translation & localization
The process of assigning the same code point to characters historically perceived as being the same character but represented as unique in more than one East Asian ideographic character standard. This results in a group of ideographs shared by several cultures and significantly reduces the number of code points needed to encode them.
Industry:Software; Translation & localization
(1) The minimum bit combination that can represent a unit of encoded text for processing or exchange. (2) An index into a code page or a Unicode standard.
Industry:Software; Translation & localization
The process of displaying text in a variety of fonts, sizes, and styles.
