Bhavana Mistry · Project LeadWhy it matters
Software that users understand is software they use
Have you ever used software in a language you do not understand? It is frustrating, and most people simply stop. Software localization makes your product available in the languages your customers speak, so you can reach a global audience.
It is more than translation. We adapt date and time formats, currency, units and cultural nuances, so the product feels familiar and users relate to it easily. That means better adoption, fewer support tickets and stronger reviews in every market.

Frequently asked questions
What is software localization?
Software localization is the process of adapting a software product to a specific language and market. It covers translating the user interface, user guides and other content, and adapting date and time formats, currency, units and cultural references.
What is the difference between software internationalization and localization?
Internationalization (i18n) prepares your code so it can support many languages and regions, for example by separating text from code and supporting different formats. Localization (l10n) then adapts the product to each specific language and locale.
Which file formats can you localize?
We work with common resource and string formats such as JSON, XML, XLIFF, PO, RESX, Android XML and iOS strings, along with spreadsheets and documents. Tell us your format and we will confirm the best way to share files.
Do you test the localized software?
Yes. We offer functional testing of localized software so that text fits, features work and the product meets the expectations of the target audience.
Can you keep up with frequent releases?
Yes. We offer real-time localization and updates to linguistic assets, so new strings are translated quickly and your translation memory and glossary stay current.
