Double-checking the integrity of localized products

Functional testing is conducted at a basic level to ensure the integrity of the localized product (software, e-learning, or web content) and is not concerned with its linguistic or cosmetic aspects, but with the code. It includes verifying that:

Source code has been enabled for international use
Localization and integration processes have not compromised functionality
Localized files have appropriate encoding
Strings are concatenated properly
Localized product installs, executes, and uninstalls as specified on native operating systems
No software features are missing and content displays as expected
All embedded strings in the code have been translated
Hyperlinks function properly
Time, date, digit groupings, decimals, currency, etc. display in proper regional settings
Data fields allow input of language-specific characters
