Localization Services

What is localization?

Localization is the process of not only translating content into a target audience's native language, but also catering to specific regional accents, dialects, cultural preferences, currencies, units of measurement, and writing conventions. Languages are very complex and can span across numerous countries and cultures, so sometimes it's not enough to just translate text directly into a foreign language. If you want to ensure comprehension and avoid confusing, frustrating, or offending anyone, you must know your target audience and cater to their needs and expectations.

​

Why is localization important?

For languages that span across many different countries and cultural climates, like English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French, etc., there may be a huge differences in the words, slang, currencies, and units of measurement that one country uses compared to another, even if they both speak the same language! If you just translate content into another language without keeping regional differences in mind, your target audience may not understand your message at all, and in some cases, you could offend your audience, losing opportunities and damaging your reputation, since words can have an innocent meaning in one country or region, but mean something completely different and be extremely offensive in another. This is especially important if you run a business with a website or if you post content or other publications.

Can I use machine translation?

While machine translators like Google Translate are a widely available option, they are very limited in their ability to correctly and accurately convey complex and idiomatic concepts and language conventions. In addition, they are NOT able to localize content and cater to specific countries and regional dialects. For these reasons it is NOT advisable to use machine translators in place of professional and specialized translators for your localization needs, as you won't achieve your goal and will likely do more harm than good.
