Still testing language quality with difficulties in software systems? Hundreds of pages of test plans still need to be written by the development teams? It doesn't need to be like this!
After more than two years of research and development efforts, SAP Language Experience and partner company Rigi.io have created a new language quality testing approach with the latest technology. This process, AltaiR (Advanced language-test automation in Rigi), which has undergone more than 30 pilot projects, saw the light in September 2020. This solution addresses the pain points of many traditional language tests of the past, making language testing very simple, effective, and saving a lot of human resources and costs, which enables organizations to remain globally competitive in a fast-paced cloud era. This scenario enables more than 40 languages to be tested at one time. The Rigi technology captures dynamic HTML English previews, which can be used to provide context for translation, and can be used to generate multilingual screenshots with one click and embed them into documentation material to achieve "one picture over a thousand words".

Highlights: 1) The presentation makes the audience feel refreshed and inspired. The audience would be curious about how SAP developed the solution and consider if its organization could learn from this process.
2) Speakers present many of the pain points of the previous traditional approach to linguistic quality testing and the difficulties of producing and translating screenshots in documentation.
3) The presentation includes cutting-edge trends and innovative perspectives. SAP and Rigi are using the latest technology to create new language quality testing scenarios.
4) The presentation includes best practices too. SAP has used this option for more than 30 pilot projects, which were put into production in September 2020. This solution addresses real problems and can become industry best practices.
