How to localise
• Upon request to GO, MOs will be assigned their own country/language version of the App to localise
• Someone from the MO will need to be added as a local “translator”‒ Each MO-locale can have one or more assigned
translators
‒ MOs are responsible for formatting the translations and additional information in their local version into HTML
• You will be given usage and technical guides to follow
