How does the testing effort for full localization compare to partial localization?

Partial localization requires more test cases than full localization.

Full localization requires more test cases and more QA cycles.

Both require the same amount of testing effort.

Testing effort is independent of localization depth.

What is a comprehensive quality requirement in full localization?

Only audio and voice-over quality.

Linguistic accuracy and cultural appropriateness.

Only text translation accuracy.

Which of the following is a common reason for choosing partial localization over full localization?

The target market is large and expects a fully localized experience.

Regulatory requirements mandate full localization.

The game has complex features that require full localization.

The budget is limited and the target market is small.

A game is being partially localized for the French market. Only the UI text and subtitles are translated; the voice-over and graphics remain in English. During testing, a tester notices that the French subtitles are correct, but the English voice-over is longer than the French subtitles, causing the subtitles to disappear before the voice-over finishes. What type of defect is this?

A synchronization defect between the localized subtitles and the non-localized audio, which is a common issue in partial localization.

A graphical defect, where the subtitle text is not rendering properly on screen.

A translation defect, where the French subtitles are not an accurate translation of the English voice-over.

A functional defect, where the game crashes or freezes when the subtitles and voice-over are out of sync.

Which criterion is commonly used to decide between full and partial localization?

The number of developers on the team.

Market demand and user expectations.
