SOFTWARE LOCALIZATION

Press Play to bring your software to a global audience

Software localization: what is it and why should you care?

Software localization is the process of adapting your software application to meet the linguistic, cultural, and technical requirements of a specific target market. This goes beyond mere translation; it involves modifying various elements such as the user interface, documentation, help files, and more to ensure a seamless and intuitive experience for users in different regions. Effective localization helps your software resonate with global audiences, enhancing usability and satisfaction.

What Press Play has to offer

Comprehensive translation

We provide expert translation of your software’s text, including user interfaces, menus, error messages, and documentation, ensuring that every string of text is accurately translated within its context and function.

Programming savviness

Software localization involves careful management of tags and variables. Thanks to my knowledge of Python, JavaScript and C++, you won't have to worry about your code breaking in the translation.

Linguistic Quality Assurance

We conduct rigorous LQA to verify the accuracy and cultural relevance of the localized content. Our LQA process includes thorough testing to identify and resolve any linguistic or functional issues, ensuring a polished final product that meets the highest standards.
