Software Translation and Localization
Software localization is the adaption of the software or web product to different languages, regional differences and technical requirements of a target market.
Users of computer software expect their software to be written in their own language. Software manufacturers from around the world want to reach international customers and to do so they need to increase their presence in the competitive software market.
Software localization does not only involve translation; it also implies changing measuring units, number formats, address formats, time and date formats , fonts, character sets, word separation and hyphenation, data protection, payment methods, currency conversion and other elements.
Quick Lingo has the expertise to translate software products into more than 300 languages. In addition to our professional translation services, our translation company provides highly specialised software localization services.
