Abstract

bunq is an internationally active digital bank. At the moment, the bunq app is only available in English, Dutch, German, Italian and Spanish. Their goal is to be a worldwide player. To be able to fulfil this goal, their app should be available in multiple languages. In the past, the translation process took an unnecessary large amount of time. Due to this inefficiency in the process, the client, bunq, gave the team an assignment to create an application which helps to decrease the workload and time spent on translating. The application should solve the following issues: (1) translating the strings is time-consuming; (2) developers lose time by having to copy and paste the strings into the code; (3) inconsistency mistakes between the apps are made when inserting the strings into the code; (4) translations might be incorrect; (5) fluent speakers are needed for each language.
The final product is a web application that solves the main issues of decreasing the workload and time spent on translating.
