What is IT Translation?
“Localisation” is a term in the field of translation which refers to “IT” translation. This requires translating the strings that are found in the “resource” files. IT translation is more than just the translation of texts, because it also concerns IT related material, date settings, variables, strings, keyboard shortcuts, etc. In this sense, IT translation is a specific branch of translation.
Who needs to use localisation?
Are you a software company and trying to expand internationally? If the answer is yes, then you need IT translation!
For computer software localisation:
- You will need “ to localise ” / translate the user interface of your product
- You will also need to translate your online support and your IT documentation.
- And you will definitely need to translate your software updates.
It is very important to take the translation quality of your software seriously.
Like us, you know that the success of your software will depend on the end user’s experience, how your customers feel when they use your tool. In fact, it is this experience that determines whether or not they will share your product and trust in your company. For example, the end user often registers for a free 30-day trial in order to get an idea of the programme and to decide, but if they cannot get the hang of your software within this period (because of software translation problems), they will not continue to use it after the free trial. Overall, taking your software translation seriously is taking your users seriously, which should go without saying since you have spent so much time creating the software for them.
That is why it is important to make sure that the user experience of your users abroad is just as good as your primary user base’s. And, we are here to help you to ensure that it is!
In addition, other to user experience, a bad software translation can lead to usage problems among your end users and lead to bad reviews. However, your main goal is to guarantee the best results.
Don’t put your product at risk by having a bad translation entrust it to professional translators.
We are here to ensure that the international roll-out process of your software will go off without a hitch, for you and your customers.
