User Impact of Localization Defects

• Clients tend to report only show-stopper issues

• As a result, clients do not actively report translation or linguistic issues

• While not warranting a bug report from the customer, translation errors do have a significant impact on the perception of software quality

• Thus, linguistic errors have a disproportionate impact on purchasing decisions, even more than functional errors

• More than 70% of international business users consider localization when making purchasing decisions
