Software Localization: 

Software localization is the translation and adaptation of a software or web product, including the software itself and all related product records. 


The traditional translation is typically an action performed after the source document has been confirmed. Software localization projects, on the other hand, often run in equivalent with the development of the source product to enable real-time shipment of all language versions. For example, the translation of software strings may often commence while the software product is still in the beta stage.

Software Localization Process: 

A software product that has been localized optimally has the look and feel of a product originally written and intended for the target market. Here are just a number of points that have to be kept in mind besides the linguistic correctness, in order to efficiently localize a software product or website: measuring units, number systems, address formats, time and date formats (long and short), local guidelines, copyright issues, data security, payment methods, currency exchange & taxes.

The standard localization procedure includes the following basic steps:

  • Analysis of the material received and evaluation of the tools and resources required for localization
  • Assessments of cultural, technical and linguistic aspects
  • Creation and maintenance of glossaries
  • Translation to the target language
  • Edition of the user interface, including resizing of forms and dialogs
  • Localization of graphics, scripts or other media having visible text, characters, etc.
  • Collection and build of the localized files for testing
  • Linguistic review
  • Project delivery

Professional Interpretation Services

How do you recognize a professional interpreting service? In addition to linguistic and translation scientific content and professionalization as an interpreter, practice-related interpreting exercises are the focus of the conference interpreting.

Localization Begins at Design Stage - WordPar International

Localization can be factored into the design stage. While creating an application, website or e-learning module, developers can keep certain localization points in mind to make the localization process simpler, more efficient, and cost-effective. Use Unicode-compliant Fonts Many languages have fonts that are not compatible with Unicode platforms. In the past, several developers have had to re-do their work because of this issue. The right font has to be identified AHEAD of the translation process and this must be specified and communicated to the translators at the start of the project. This issue is being resolved rapidly by making most fonts Unicode-compliant, but this should be verified to avoid rework and wastage. Provide for Text Expansion Developers must bear in mind that text size varies from language to language. For example, something said in English will require more space in German and lesser space in Mandarin. If the developers are aware of this and are sensitized to the ...
