Localisation

Internationalisation is the software engineering effort that takes place before translation and localisation.  Source code modifications are usually necessary if a product has not been written with translation and localisation in mind.  Typical international design decisions will consider character encoding and display, multilingual resource file management, user interface and screen real estate and user acceptance testing.  We offer consultancy and training for the development teams who are planning to take their products global

Localisation is more than the translation of words and involves adapting a product or service to the linguistic, cultural and legal conventions of the target market.  For a software product, localisation activities can range form converting content such as ‘Zip Code’ to ‘Postal Code’ through to complete adaptation of software code, user interface and online assistance.
We ensure the changes fully reflect the operating practices of our clients and the target market.
