It's probably the result of a bad translation job, but I can't understand what this article is saying.

Does "selected" & "verified" really mean "approved"? As in: "the team that approves most of the apps before they enter BB World is located in Bali"? Is that what it really means?

I also don't understand the "local applications" & "local devs" reference at the end. Just a random comment on how many devs who have published 3rd party apps in BB World also happen to be located in Indonesia?

Maybe I can clarify. When a developer submits a new app or an app update to BB World it is tested and approved by BB before going live in the store. This is done by a team in Bali, not in Waterloo (generally speaking, there are a few exceptions). What the article is saying is that due to language barriers (ie no one on the Bali team can understand Kanji or Mandarin) not all apps can be approved in Bali so they are tested else where. App approvals have been done in Bali for a long time now so Im not sure if the article is indicating that there is a new team set up for other languages or if that was the way it always was and it was just an explanation of how the app approvals work.
