Identify internationalization (i18n) issues in your application and source code before they disrupt your next market launch.
Get evidence-backed findings, clear priorities and practical engineering recommendations.
Your application does not need to start in English.
GlobalizeApp can assess and improve applications whose current UI is in any language. Internationalization prepares an application for multiple languages and regions, regardless of its original or primary language.
GlobalizeApp provides expert-led assessments of application behavior and source code, with prioritized findings and practical engineering recommendations.
Initial assessment focus: React web applications using JavaScript or TypeScript.
Welcoming our first three design partners at this introductory fixed fee for the agreed initial assessment.
Start here if you are preparing to launch in new markets, experiencing recurring globalization defects, or need a prioritized internationalization roadmap.
One React web application using JavaScript or TypeScript
Three agreed customer journeys
Two target locales and a pseudo-locale for text-expansion testing
Scoped source-code analysis, with repository boundaries agreed before work begins
Runtime testing of the agreed journeys
Expert-reviewed findings and recommendations
An executive readiness summary
Category-level results with supporting evidence and testing coverage
Prioritized findings tied to application behavior or source code
Reproduction steps and recommended fixes
A remediation roadmap with effort ranges
A findings walkthrough with engineering and product stakeholders
Typical timing: three calendar weeks after scope, access and environment readiness are confirmed.
This is a focused assessment—not an exhaustive review of every source file, feature or locale. Implementation, post-fix verification and expanded coverage are quoted separately.
Design partners receive a paid assessment and provide structured feedback. Testimonials, references or publication of results require separate permission.

These are illustrative examples, not a live customer audit or proof of comprehensive application readiness.
The examples show selected languages, but the underlying issues often come from shared application logic. A formatting, validation or text-handling defect may affect several locales—not just the one illustrated. Impact can differ by language and content, so a shared fix still needs representative testing. Our assessments distinguish demonstrated failures, potentially affected locales and verified coverage.

Additional services are available through separately scoped engagements.
Address underlying application issues and establish reusable internationalization patterns.
Implementation work is scoped separately based on your application, priorities and engineering capacity.
Verify agreed fixes and help prevent issues from returning through representative locale testing and regression checks.
Coverage and acceptance criteria are agreed for each engagement.
Improve connections between repositories, translation management systems, testing and releases.
Identify manual handoffs and implement appropriate automation, with human review where needed.
Help teams—and their AI coding tools—follow consistent internationalization practices.
1. Free scoping call
Discuss your application, target markets and current challenges. Determine whether the assessment fits your needs. The call is free and does not include application testing or source-code review.
2. Agree on scope and fee
Define the application, customer journeys, target locales, repository boundaries, deliverables and access requirements before paid work begins. Confidentiality and permitted AI processing are agreed at this stage.
3. Assess and prioritize
Test the agreed customer journeys and analyze the scoped source code using automated checks and AI-assisted analysis, with expert review. Distinguish demonstrated failures, potentially affected locales and verified coverage. Untested areas are explicitly identified.
4. Findings walkthrough and roadmap
Receive evidence-backed findings, clear priorities and practical engineering recommendations. Review the results and remediation roadmap together, including effort ranges and limitations. A high aggregate score does not override a critical launch blocker.
Initial assessment complete — choose your next step
Your team can implement the recommendations, or you can engage GlobalizeApp for separately scoped implementation, post-fix verification or localization automation. These optional services are not included in the US$5,000 initial assessment.
Work directly with an internationalization specialist
GlobalizeApp is an independent consultancy led by Manabu Okuhara. Work directly with your specialist—from initial scoping through assessment and the findings walkthrough.
Automated tools and AI support the analysis; expert judgment guides the findings, priorities and practical engineering recommendations.

Tell us about your application, target markets and current challenges. We will discuss whether the assessment is a good fit and what scope and access would be required.
The call is free and carries no obligation. It does not include a source-code review, application testing, readiness score or written assessment report.
The US$5,000 Global Readiness Assessment is a separate paid engagement, with scope and fee agreed before work begins.
