Update and leverage are features offered by most software localisation tools available on the market.
- Update: The update process is done on resources during the localisation and consists of detecting changes in a specific version of a software in comparison to the original version
- Leverage: The leverage process consists of reusing project information from previous projects; that means, recycling duplicate material from one upgrade to another or from one similar product to another. This functionality helps to reduce costs, since strings and string lists from previous translated projects are used.
