Since programmes are less intuitive than other products, it is more likely that they will need to be localised

• Localisation of software programmes includes:
• Help files
• Graphic user interface (GUI)
• Printed documentation and packaging
• Related website

Almost all programs are created both for Windows and Mac operative systems. Although the program is the same, the menus, shortcut keys and help files are different, and need also to be translated. Shortcuts or "hot keys" play a major role in localisation, since they vary from country to country.
