Services -> Localization

Localization is the process of adapting your product (e.g. website, help files, or software) to a specific locale.

Translation is only one phase of the localization process. It also involves:

  • Developing glossaries & style guidelines
  • Editing locale-specific information
  • Reformatting text in graphics
  • Adjusting HTML code & scripts (websites)
  • Engineering (software)
  • Linguistic and functional testing
  • Ongoing Quality Control

Localization is typically preceded by an internationalization process which consists of designing or redesigning a product to make it as culturally and technically neutral as possible, so it can be localized with minimal effort.
