If you are going to translate your software, it is important to think about internationalization issues during the design phase. If your software can support a variety of cultural requirements (different alphabets, different date formats, translations of user‑interface elements), you will have access to a larger worldwide market than if your software only works for a single audience. And if you have designed your software with translation issues in mind, the entire translation process will be simpler and less costly with a better end product.
Before using the Translation Manager, read OpenEdge Development: Internationalizing Applications, which has information on internationalization and localization issues that your developers should be aware of in order to make the translation process as smooth as possible
