Multilingual software should start at the foundation

Why languages, translations, currencies and locale settings should be built into the platform instead of added as a visual afterthought.

Why languages, translations, currencies and locale settings should be built into the platform instead of added as a visual afterthought.

Translation is more than changing menu labels

A multilingual business needs translatable navigation, forms, emails, notifications, SEO content, product or service information and customer-facing status messages.

This approach also avoids the common problem where newly added modules are only partially translated or use inconsistent regional formats.

Administration matters as much as the public website

Businesses need a central way to manage languages and translation coverage. Adding a language should not require hunting through unrelated pages or editing code.

This approach also avoids the common problem where newly added modules are only partially translated or use inconsistent regional formats.

Locale affects more than words

Currency, dates, times and regional formatting should work with the chosen language and business settings so customers see a coherent experience.

This approach also avoids the common problem where newly added modules are only partially translated or use inconsistent regional formats.

Foundation-level localization scales better

When localization is part of the shared HoxiSoft foundation, new modules can inherit the same language and translation behavior instead of implementing it independently.

This approach also avoids the common problem where newly added modules are only partially translated or use inconsistent regional formats.
