Abstract

Localisation is one of the fastest growing industrial sectors in the digital world. Since the mid-eighties, the role of localisation has developed and changed dramatically. Localisation has been redefined as the provision of services and technologies for the management of multilinguality across the global information flow. This paper discusses the need for easily accessible dedicated language resources for localisation, provides a practical example of what can be achieved with appropriate language resources in the context of localisation and proposes a strategy to acquire, maintain and make them easily accessible.
