What are the challenges of translating software?
Translating software for multiple global markets creates a host of challenges, from understanding the various technical and functional requirements to the actual translation, build, and testing processes.
How to localise and launch your software globally across markets
The software localisation process involves more than just hiring someone to translate the words of your software into other languages. You need a partner who understands what works (and what doesn’t) in other cultures. And one who understands the technical requirements involved.
This partner should also have experience with any of the file formats you might provide and know how to protect non-translatable source elements. Why? You want to ensure that when the files come back to you there are no issues.
Finally, there’s the task of software testing to ensure everything is working correctly and that you enjoy a seamless launch.
