Hi Group,
1. What could be the approach for testing a website which is not in English language (Eg. the UI will be in French or Chinese and so on).
1.1. Is the approach different from normal dynamic web app security testing (in English)?
1.2 does UI matters for security scanning tools like WebInspect or Appscan ... I don't think so.. your opinion on this...?
2. If a website is multilingual, I mean, the UI is different for different countries but the code behind is same. (user can select from drop-down or from the geographical location in homepage) . In my view, the web app is developed in English and respective language pack/translation will be done..
2.1. In this case can security testing be restricted to only English website?
2.2 any other methodologies or approach on this..?
Regards,
Whitehaat
