Globalize your On Demand Business

Thai is a tonal, uninflected Tai-Kadai language that has been heavily influenced by Khmer, Indic, and English loans.

Executive overview

"During the past five years, the global business community has come to depend more than ever on software to increase productivity and efficiency, a challenge that improvements in software globalization have helped meet.

This topic introduces the Thai language, with a focus on issues that face developers of globalized software. It also outlines the basic issues that developers need to address when developing software for other languages.

This will help developers and business planners in making key decisions about how investment in software globalization can truly provide added value by providing customers with a satisfying, and familiar, user experience."
