The Software Localization module introduces the concept of localization in software, explaining its distinctive features and potential pitfalls in relation to other forms of translation, in the context of modern technological translation practice.

Subsequently, a diversified set of contents that require translation within software applications (dialogues, interfaces, tutorials, etc.) will be presented, providing specific guidance on how these must be approached. To this end, issues such as variable/placeholder handling, size/visual restrictions, bug identification and prevention, as well as other conventions specific to software localization (which are often absent in other types of translatable material) will be reviewed.
