Geopolitical-Ready Text
If an application must be localized for multiple languages, the user interface text should be reviewed for geopolitical readiness. Apply the following geopolitical guidelines:
- Always use the term country/region instead of the word country.
- Always use the term capital/major city instead of the word capital.
- Be cautious when using an untranslated trademarked term from the United States because it might be interpreted as an offensive or otherwise undesirable term in another language.
