Hi there.
I was wondering if I can ask the collective wisdom of this list about
your experiences with localization. I searched the archives, but
couldn't find much discussion on this topic.
1. What rewards/incentives are normal with third-party localizers? Is
it common to pay them a percentage of sales of the localized versions,
or just give them a free license, or just credit in the About window,
or something else?
2. If a percentage is paid, what percentage is normal?
3. If a percentage is paid, how do you track which edition of an app a
user purchases? (A popup on the Kagi order form seems one option.)
4. A localizer could host the app on their site and accept local
payments for it, which would be forwarded to me, after subtracting a
percentage. Does this sound reasonable? Any potential issues?
5. Any pitfalls or things I should watch for to ensure quality
localization?
6. If any localizers are reading this and are interested in localizing
the Dejal Simon product (a SIte MONitor), feel free to e-mail me.
Don't do any work until you hear from me, in case someone else already
wants to do your language(s).
