Short release cycles

Live updates to Program management Continuous and Quick kit dispatch mechanism

In-cycle string updates

Enable developer teams to keep strings in waiting A review by XD before each kit disposal Localization – an efficient way to do it! By: Kshitij Gupta, Adobe Systems.

Contextual limitations

Make context available on per string basis Avoids linguistic bugs owing to contextual errors

Inter-team dependency bottlenecks

Integrate daily build to free management to decide on kit disposal Daily build integration felicitates loc builds for linguists.

Big investments/manual engg.

Manual engineering efforts consumes good chunk of total costs Auto linguistic bug fixing, reduces efforts by 96 – 100% Engineering efforts only for truncation issues Highly impactful for mobile apps

Legacy conflicts!
