Localization

Localization (L10N) is the process of adapting a product or service to a particular language and culture

Products and services are more likely to succeed when adapted specifically to the locale or culture in which they are marketed. For this reason, localization focuses on adapting details to a specific locale. In order to create a product that appeals to the local culture, successful localization requires talented translators who are also "locale experts". They must take into account region-specific factors such as:

• Time Zones
• Date Formats
• Currencies
• National Holidays
• Local Color Sensitivities
• Icons
• Product or Service Names
• Geographic Examples
• Gender Roles

Our localization team works closely with software and design engineers to ensure that the target text is compatible with different platforms and operating systems. Whether it involves updating a few resource files for a new version, or delivering a fully tested final product for simultaneous release, we are committed to providing you with service that consistently meets and exceeds your expectations.
