 | Globalizing Technology As the world increasingly adopts technology, technology must continue to match the needs of all customers. Localization is the process of adapting products and services to the needs of global users. Localization enables non-English-speaking users around the world to benefit from technology and use it to achieve their best.
Language translation is only a small part of the localization process. Localization also entails modifying products to take into account cultural and political sensitivities; colors and sounds; date, time, or currency formats; plus other social factors that will help users interact more effectively with the product.
This is a challenging career that has a positive impact on the lives of users around the world.
Microsoft is committed to its various hardware products, and this commitment translates into many exciting employment opportunities.
