Localization, or L10N, is the process of adapting a product or content to a specific locale. So in addition to translation, the localization process may also include adapting graphics to the target markets, modifying content layout to fit the translated text, converting to local currencies, using of proper formats for dates, addresses, and phone numbers, addressing local regulations and more.

The goal is to provide a product with the look and feel of having been created for the target mark to eliminate or minimize local sensitivities.

Your brand name and reputation can take years to develop, but can be damaged very quickly if your software doesn’t work or has been poorly translated. That’s why you need an experienced localization partner that will guide you through the complete localization process, and one that has the resources, qualified in-country linguistic talent, and engineering capabilities to ensure a cost-effective and high quality localized product.

We use industry-standard software localization tools such as SDL Passolo,Alchemy Catalyst and others.

The following steps are commonly included in a localization project:

Design for localization: before translation, localization engineers review source code to make sure that the functionality of your software will be preserved when localized.
Translate software text strings: translation professionals convert all text within the software into your target language.
Complete the build: engineers build the software with the localized text files.
Test: linguistic and functional testers rigorously test the localized software to make sure the quality of language, appearance, and functionality are top-notch.

Our collaborative approach to developing localization solutions ensures your software will do more than just work in another market. It’ll create a strong connection with the customers using it—wherever they may be.

Today's global market means that a software application can rarely succeed in only one language. However, the localization process can appear daunting, due to the vast and varied amount of data involved in such an application, plus the technical knowledge required to decipher it.

Our years of experience and Software Localization workflow gives your company an invaluable headstart.

File Preparation & Glossary Creation – Using localization tools, the important terms are extracted into a glossary or terminology list. The use of these glossaries by the translation team ensures consistency between the User Interface (UI), online support materials, and other documentation from the product suite.
Translation & Editing – a localization engineer identifies and extracts the product’s text contained in menus, dialog boxes, buttons, wizards, online help module, printed documentation, and packaging from the source files in order to initiate the translation and editing processes.
Dialog Box, Form & Menu Adaptation – Upon the completion of the translation and editing processes, the dialog boxes are tested in order to ensure issues resulting from the translated text expanding or contracting affecting the size of the UI components are rectified.
Desktop Publishing – Documentation including graphics, scripts, or other media containing visible text are formatted and linguistically proofed.
Compilation – Compilation and build of the localized files in preparation for testing.
QA Testing – Linguistic and functional quality assurance performed on target platforms.
Project Delivery – The completed files are delivered in any format you require.

We can even help you with simultaneous shipping (sim-ship) of English and localized products.

The mobile application marketplace is booming and research estimates the number of mobile users will grow exponentially, half of whom will come from Asia. English is no longer the native language of your average mobile phone user. And with 90% of activity on mobile devices occurring on apps, localizing for your worldwide users is a must.

But it’s not just about localization, it’s about experience: your consumer will expect an app that looks, feels, and works as if it were created specifically for them—leading to more downloads, more engagement, and more satisfaction.

Our services include:

Designing a UI that handles foreign character sets and right-to-left languages. Involving us during the design phase substantially reduces the problems you’ll find during localization.

Testing is the last step, but it needs to be considered at the beginning. Testing should start with the most problematic target language (for example: Polish for grammar, Chinese for character sets, Arabic for bi-directionality), since issues in these languages are likely to occur in others.

Our testing and quality assurance process ensures the best possible results:

Conduct Project Analysis, during which all goals, guidelines, and deliverables are defined
Create a Test Plan, which provides the roadmap for the entire project
Define all Test Cases
Identify and Train the Ideal QA Team
