摘要
Internationalization and localization of web-based learning environments is problematic for two reasons: 1) communication of software in two environments: browser at the client side and virtual learning environment at server side, and 2) educational necessity for full compatibility of language and culture elements between learning content and the enclosing web-based learning environment. The localization process of open source virtual learning environment and web browsers is discussed. A list of the main unresolved internationalization issues observed in an open source web-based learning environment is presented. The importance of internationalization of original software is discussed as a means for cost saving of localization and for enhancement of product quality towards achieving localized software quality such that it looks and feels as if it would have been made for the target language and culture.
