Thank you Jon, what a great post! I really enjoy the tidbit you wrote about linguistic equivalence. Looks like the book will be worth the 30 bucks. J

Hello,
My team is looking for materials to help us with upcoming localization projects. We will be localizing (not translating) software and web products designed and developed in the U.S. to other countries, with Japan being the first in our plans. I've been doing quite a bit of research online and found a few websites that are mildly useful. Recently, I heard about these two books off the U-Test discussion list and would love to hear your opinion on them if you've read them:
* "A Practical Guide to Localization", Bert Esselink < http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/104-4774898-5667150?%5Fencoding=UTF8&search-type=ss&index=books&field-author=Bert%20Esselink <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/104-4774898-5667150?%5Fencoding=UTF8&search-type=ss&index=books&field-author=Bert%20Esselink> > .
* "The Culturally Customized Web Site: Customizing Web Sites for the Global Marketplace", Nitish Singh < http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/104-4774898-5667150?%5Fencoding=UTF8&search-type=ss&index=books&field-author=Nitish%20Singh > .
If you have other resources that you've found helpful in your experience of doing this type of project, please kindly advise.
Thank you and have a great day!
