A picture translated to Japanese

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

My application is localized in English and in Japanese. A Japanese company (ACT2), who sell ImageFramer in Japan also does the localization. We worked together and it is a good experience. One of the things I’ve added in version 2.0.1 is a default startup image that loads in ImageFramer, when user launches it.

Below is the picture that I selected for this task. It’s a photo I took in Spain about 8 years ago.

So, I sent the Photoshop file with to the Japanese team to replace the text with the Japanese one. They did. Same apparent font, same effect but something changed :lol: .

Yes, the whole image was translated into Japanese, it seems. 

Actually, I qute like the image.
