Localization Means More Than Just Translation
Localization makes translation look easy! Localization services require not only translating text accurately, but also taking a product—such as a software application or website—and making it usable and beautiful in a foreign language and culturally appropriate for a foreign market.
In our increasingly connected global community, websites, software, mobile apps, etc. must be localized for use in multiple regions. But not just anyone can localize software or web content properly. Using inexperienced translators rather than an experienced localization team can cost companies in the long run.
IVANNOVATION has localized some of the biggest and most complex software systems on the planet for more than 20 years. That means that for us website and app localization is easy. When you partner with IVANNOVATION for localization services, you get not only language translation accuracy, but also the technical know-how to make your app, software, or website truly global.
Improper localization can destroy your software, website, or mobile application! When an inexperienced person translates electronic content, there is so much that can go wrong. Errors can be introduced into the code. Changes in line lengths between languages can wreak havoc on beautiful designs. Different currencies, units of measure, and date formats can confuse users. Ignoring local laws can lead to fines. There are countless traps to snare the unprepared software or website developer.
The only way to ensure a smooth launch of a website or software application into other languages is to work with localization experts that know the pitfalls. IVANNOVATION can guide you as you make your product available to people around the world.
