Need of Globalization and Localization Testing:

Today morning my manager came to my place and asked one clarification regarding one of our product that the product is multi language support or not?
We replied as “No, we are supporting multi language”.
Again he asked, whether a user can able to register as a new user by giving the details for registration in other languages except English.
We were not able to answer the question, because we didn’t try this scenario in our product. Then i opened my product sign up page and gave the username, first name, last name and about me fields in other languages.We shocked while submitting the form for registration. It displayed error message and user is unable to sign up if he/she gives the sign up details in other languages.We tried the same scenario with Google and it allowed to sign up. Then only we realized the importance of this globalization and localization testing. Then we concluded that if we give the inputs in any language, the applications have to work properly and it has to display the proper output.
