Software localization consists of linguistic and cultural adaptation of websites and software applications. This is a very precise activity, that includes multiple elements to consider and particularly depends on the design and implementation of each application. Our services include localization to Latin-American and American markets.
Some typical examples of elements to consider are:
- Component distribution in the interface. In some languages the length of text is more than in others. Hence, the process of localization is not reduced to "translation" of terms, but it also includes adaptation to the presentation.
- Components where messages are placed. In some applications messages and text that appear in the interface are embedded in the code, in databases, in configuration files, HTML pages, etc. This multiple components must be considered in the process of localization.
- Vocabulary. Technical terms and those specific to the application must be adapted to the communication and product-sale style for each market. Pairing communication with the terminology to use in the tool constitute a basic element to take into account.
