Proper localization is vital for your product’s success. Software localization can break barriers and remains a key aspect of any international business.
With over 15 years of experience, we can make sure that it reaches its full potential by making the software’s language understandable and accessible to the local market. Software localization breaks the barriers of cultures and truly makes your product a global one.
What Is Software Localization?
Software localization (or also referred as l10n) is adaptation of an user interface (e.g. of an app on your phone) to the given local market. Localized software allows its users to interact in a language and locale that feels native to them.
Before the content is localized, it needs to be internationalized first. Internationalization (or i18n) involves the design and development of the software for the target countries, making sure that the translated text will display correctly.
Localizing Software In A Smart Way
- Simulating a real localization process, in order to detect possible formatting issues of the software.
- Choosing the most efficient strategy based on the specifications of your product, requirements and needs.
- Using a translation memory, which stores the client’s previous translations in order to optimize every further project in terms of turnaround times and costs.
- Providing reference material to the translators is important so they can have a better understanding of the strings’ context.
