Abstract: Internationalized software, which support localization by allowing users to choose the user interface language of their choice, has a lot wider audience than a single-language software. Providing resource files for multiple languages is expensive and not scalable for large number of languages. This limits the availability of software products to only those communities who speak major languages. In this study, we investigate the idea of allowing users to create user interface translation of software and share them with other users. We believe that such an approach is scalable as it does not incur any extra cost.
