N2 - The development of software with international features and support for multiple languages is a complex project due to the knowledge they require of programming equipment, bases and cultural differences, as well as the translation process itself. This article reports the experience gained by two Latin American universities Instituto Tecnologico de Costa Rica (TEC) and Universidad Nacional de Cordoba (UNC)-Argentina, to locate EULER, a software designed to generate mathematical content in accessible formats. The software is configured in TEC and the location of its interface in French, English and German was carried out in UNC by groups of students led by their teachers. The result of this experience was very positive since the students were introduced to the location industry and acquired practice in view of their professional life, in addition they could contribute to the development of such a valuable tool, EULER, by allowing users of other parts of the world try and eventually adopt it in its content generation processes.
