Translation

Translation is key to serve customers and to make them see that your brand is the same in every region of the world. The internet is now a global marketplace for every business. With the right translation strategy your company can market its solutions on a global scale, reaching millions of potential customers worldwide. Another important factor you need to consider is to maintain consistency across global content. Implementing a centralized translation process will ensure higher control and visibility and preservation of branding. It will also reduce translation costs and turnaround time, without having a negative impact on quality. Reach out to us for some useful tips and general advice that will clarify the process and ensure you make the most of any translation that your company requires.

We work with in-country professional translators who have industry-specific expertise. This ensures the translation is contextually and culturally accurate. Every project is assigned a project manager who selects a team of native speaking translators tailored specifically to meet your brand culture, products and solutions. The translators assigned for the respective project are continuously evaluated on of their punctuality, technical skills, responsiveness, availability, and compliance to guidelines.

Terminology explained

Globalization (G11N)

refers to the process that addresses business issues associated with launching a product globally, such as integrating localization throughout a company after proper internationalization and product design. In G11N, the common abbreviation for globalization, the 11 refers to the 11 letters between the g and the n.

Internationalization (i18N)

is the process of designing a software application so that it can be adapted to various languages and regions without engineering changes. This involves supporting different currency, number separators, dates. In i18N, the common abbreviation for internationalization, the 18 stands for the number of letters between the first i and last n in internationalization.

Localization (L10N)

is the process of translating and adapting this internationalized software application for a specific region or language.  In L10N, the common abbreviation for localization, the 10 refers to the ten letters between the l and the n. The capital L in L10N helps to distinguish it from the lowercase i in i18N.
