What languages do you support when localizing?
- by Javoid
I recently converted an iphone app to support different languages, and was wondering which ones I should include, and which ones aren't worth the trouble.
What I mean by that is best illustrated by an example. In Ireland, the Irish language is spoken by very few of the people there. It could be considered a dying language. Almost everybody speaks English (if not everybody). So in this example, I don't think it's worth the trouble to support.
In addition, the number of people using modern technology may be limited as well. For example, most people in Cambodia would not be likely to purchase software, and therefore the benefits of localization are reduced.
