Software Localization & Testing

Ensuring Excellence in Software Localization

At Transfective, we recognize the critical importance of software localization in today's global market. As organizations strive to tailor their software for various linguistic and cultural landscapes, a meticulous approach is required to ensure platforms are both linguistically accurate and culturally resonant. Our process encompasses every stage of localization—from identifying and extracting localizable elements to re-engineering and rigorously testing multiple language versions. We are committed to integrating quality at every phase, utilizing industry best practices and cutting-edge technology to deliver exceptional results.

Software Localization Explained

Software localization involves adapting software to meet the linguistic, cultural, and legal norms of a target locale. This process goes beyond mere translation, it includes modifying graphics, layouts, and formatting to align with local legal standards, data compliance, device preferences, and prevailing technology trends. At Transfective, we provide a comprehensive suite of software localization services tailored to global markets. Our offerings include:

Additionally, we are equipped to produce all necessary documentation, roadmaps, and auxiliary tools needed for developing software from the ground up. Our team is also skilled in enhancing existing software, adapting it within your framework for any language desired.

The Importance of Software Localization

In an era where digital boundaries are continually expanding, the demand for software localization services has surged. The ubiquity of the internet enables companies to engage with a global audience, necessitating adaptations of products and services to cater to diverse regional and linguistic preferences. Effective software localization transcends mere translation; it involves a comprehensive adaptation of user interfaces, documentation, manuals, audiovisual content, and software code across multiple languages. To maintain the integrity and context of translated content, our localization experts employ advanced technological tools, ensuring consistency and accuracy.

Globalization

Our approach begins with globalization—the foundational process of preparing software for localization into any language, locale, and culture. Strategic adjustments and continuous planning throughout the software development cycle are pivotal. Implementing best practices in globalization not only accelerates market readiness but also significantly curtails costs, mitigates risks, and alleviates the burden on internal teams.

Localization

Simply translating text is not enough. Our localization strategy is crafted for specific locales and languages, employing specialized industry resources and advanced technology. We support diverse resource file formats and seamlessly integrate with version control systems and code repositories to enable efficient, automated file handling. Additionally, our visual localization tools offer translators and reviewers critical context via live screens or screenshots, ensuring greater accuracy and relevance.

Testing

The final step in our methodology is comprehensive testing. No software localization project is deemed complete without ensuring that the software and mobile apps perform flawlessly across different languages, operating systems, browsers, channels, and devices. Our testing protocols are designed to prevent costly delays and avoid potential flaws. We offer an array of testing services, including functional, linguistic, layout/UI design, user experience (UX), user acceptance testing (UAT), internationalization (i18n), accessibility (A11Y), and automated testing.

Through these rigorous methodologies, Transfective guarantees that your software localization projects are executed with precision, ensuring your products resonate with and are accessible to users worldwide.
