Interesting article! I guess that translating a software interface and manual might be one of the most challenging things a translator has to face. It is such a specific job that I would only leave it to people who do that as a main activity and who are specialist of the IT field. Translating requires to know a lot of aspects: programming and usability too (the end user might vary a lot), maybe even accessibility sometimes. Personally, sometimes I wonder if icons might not be better than words when translations seem hard to be found. The manual should do the rest. Still, it is a very complicated and slow job. It should not be left only to programmers who already have a good deal of work to do but we all know it rarely happens. :( Hello! Interesting article!
