of the SL phrase.

Translation of specialized terminology
Localization of software and help (especially templates) to some extent includes localization of texts related to
areas other than computing, e.g., finance, accounting, marketing, HR, economics, employment, social affairs, PR,
media, etc.
Such texts are different in style and terminology. E.g., the same source language term used in the user interface
and templates might have different meanings and thus be translated differently.
reference
User interface
viide
reference
CV template (Word)
soovitus
promote
User interface
esitama (e.g. to promote headings)
promote
PowerPoint slide templates
reklaamima
A localizer is not required to be knowledgeable in all specialty areas, however, it is essential to ensure that
correct, recent and official terminology is used. Hence it is important to consult specialized dictionaries (See:
Recommended Reference Material), consult relevant legislation and, if needed, relevant specialists or
agencies/institutions.
