<h1 class="topictitle1">Develop globalized applications</h1>
<div><p>Here are some guidelines for designing, developing, and delivering
globalized applications in this topic.</p>
<ul><li>Designing functions that are sensitive to national languages</li>
<li>Supporting various types of hardware</li>
<li>Translating the textual data in your application</li>
<li>Making your application available worldwide</li>
</ul>
<p>Globalized applications are those applications that have national language
support. National language support allows users to enter, store, process,
retrieve, print, and display data in their language of choice. National language
support also allows users to see and enter data, commands, prompts, messages,
and documentation in their language of choice, in formats that match their
cultural expectations.</p>
<p>Although your reasons might differ, most internationalized
applications are created because:</p>
<ul><li>The market demands globalized software products that have a local feel</li>
<li>The application is used in a community that represents multiple cultures</li>
<li>Revenue opportunities are expanded</li>
</ul>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbagsdevelopingappsprocess.htm">Goals and processes</a></strong><br />
Before you invest your time and money into the development of globalized applications, you will benefit from a planning process that gives you an opportunity to consider how you can efficiently and effectively serve your users. The information in this topic will help you develop such a plan.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbagsdevelopingappsdesign.htm">Design globalized applications</a></strong><br />
Your goal in designing international application components is to create components that support national languages independently.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbagsdevelopingappsprog.htm">Programming considerations in globalized application design</a></strong><br />
As you develop your globalized applications, the national language version environment often requires that you pay additional attention to how you prepare and compile your code.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbagsdevelopingappsdeliver.htm">Deliver globalized applications</a></strong><br />
As you prepare to deliver your globalized application, you should consider how globalization issues might affect the ways that your customers install and use your application.</li>
