Software

Our professionals have ample experience in adapting software applications to foreign languages and cultures.

Software localization is a complex task which requires taking into consideration many specific factors such as menu space availability, and possible usability changes needed to adapt the software to the particulars of the foreign market (examples would be the correct use and order for dates and times and page size), and especially, creating easy to read and understand content in the target language. The success of the localized version of a software application will depend greatly upon a correct solution to these challenges.

Our goal is clear; to offer the most exact rendition into another language without simply creating literal translations that may confuse future software users, by using multiple reference materials to avoid terminology errors. In fact a localized software application that is difficult to understand can lead to customer uncertainty during the buying process, and increases customer support requests.

Our areas of expertise include:

• Software component localization: program interface, help files, etc.
• Electronic formatting (application with code and macros).
• Help file compilation.
• Code testing and debugging.
