REAL-TIME LOCALIZATION

Abstract:

Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for real-time localization. The disclosed system provides for real-time localization of an online product that is released to a client in its native language. The online product may include a native layer where content in the native language is provided as well as a localization layer where the content that has been localized can be provided for display. The localization layer may be superimposed on the native layer such that the content of the native layer is obscured from display. The disclosed system includes determining both the native language and detecting the user's locale so that the disclosed system can provide a localized version of the native content. The client calls a backend translation engine of a server to request for the localized version, and the backend translation engine can respond with the localized version in real-time.
