etc.). During the second part of the course, you will follow the steps included in website
localisation. You will be introduced to various tools used for text, code and media processing
and practise with a choice of tools available in the lab and online. In the last part of the

environment and localise websites in three different types of editors. Finally, participants will
be added to an online group that will last for a week where they can talk about their
experience using the various tools introduced in the course and discuss any issues with the
rest of the participants and the tutor. Participants will also be given resources on the
software used in the lab.
