Localization

Localization means translating and adapting text so it seamlessly meets the locally and culturally accepted values of the country or region for which it is intended. When localizing a product to a foreign language it is important to take specific cultural values and cultural differences into consideration, so your product is marketed correctly. The language localization process should best be performed by professionals: native-speaker translators with great linguistic skills and extensive knowledge of country and culture.

Software Translation

Translating software strings (software localization) is different from a regular translation process. In many cases localization is a challenging process resulting from technical limitations such as limited available space (number of characters) on the interface. Use of correct terminology enhances intuitive use of the application and allows for easy and better acceptance of your product. Each language has its pitfalls and can cause surprising and unwanted results if not dealt with adequately. As a translation agency specializing in technical translations, we have gained the necessary experience over the years and feel confident that we can provide you with satisfactory localized translations.
