What is localization?

Localization (sometimes known as L10n) is the process of modifying a product (a software program, website, or document) for an audience in a different country, culture, or region of the world. Localization is more complex than translation because it involves cultural adaptation and requires in-depth knowledge of the local culture.

The formats we translate include:

Office Desktop Publishing Web Software
Word Quark Xpress HTML/XHTML C, C++, C# and Java
PowerPoint FrameMaker PHP, JSP, ASP, ASPX Perl, Python
Excel Illustrator Javascript rc, ResX, exe
Access PageMaker Ruby PO, Properties
Open Office InDesign User-defined XML User-defined XML
Plain Text Photoshop MySQL, Postgres, Oracle
Autocad Access, SQL Server, DB2
