- I am interested in gathering opinions of those currently producing applications
- for the Macintosh platform on the following questions.
-
- 1) If a product does not work under the Japanese operating system (KanjiTalk -
- KT) how difficult is it to adapt the product so that it is 100% compatible? I
- realize this will vary with the purpose of the application; I am interested in
- all aspects. I am also interested in any all references available on the
- process of localizing a product to the Japanese market (or any Asian market).
-
- 2) Is compatibility with KT the most significant problem in approaching the
- Japanese market? If it is not, what is?
-
- 3) If approached by a Japanese company with the proposition that they could
- successfully market your product in Japan and would like an exclusion marketing
- agreement to do so, what reservations, fears, or problems do you think would be
- most significant in closing such a deal? If the company was represented by an
- American how would that affect your decision?
-
- Since I doubt that this is of general interest please reply email. If anyone is
- interested email me and I'll send you the responses or, if there is enough
- interest, I'll summarize and post.
