I18n and non I18n bug submission and resolving trends comparison

The following graphic shows the different trends of the i18n and non
i18n bug submission and resolving trends in one small product.

One problem is both i18n and non i18n bugs were filed starting from day
10, bug non i18n bugs were getting resolved starting from day 100,
while i18n bugs were getting resolved starting from day 200, ideally a
product team should resolve i18n bugs  earlier and more quickly so
that l10n can be started early and released at the same time with base
products.

The second problem is i18n bugs were found continuously till the end of
the release even when l10n testing should have already started or
finished, it means a lot of i18n bugs were found during l10n testing
and thus  translation  and l10n engineering/testing will all
have to be reworked many times which means extra time and
resources/cost will occur.
