LOCALIZED TRANSLATIONS: MORE THAN JUST TRANSLATION
What are Localized Translations?
Whether or not you may realize it, there are many cultural factors
related to your document, Web site, or software; its documentation;
and the target culture in general, which need to be taken into
consideration.
A localized translation will give your product the cultural
sensitivity it needs to achieve its purpose and make the most
impact possible.
How do we do it? When you make the decision to localize your
document or Web site, translation is just the beginning. There must
be a complete conversion from addressing one audience to addressing
an entirely different audience. Document and Web site localization
includes the following:
- Seamless translation
- Necessary format changes
- Creation of correct links
- Changing visual images to reflect the desired target audience,
if necessary
- The adoption of a vital sensitivity to cultural
differences
It's a daunting task. But with the right translator, you can
meet the global challenge!
A localized translation will benefit you in these
ways:
- It will optimize your product for a particular market or niche,
making it both linguistically and culturally appropriate.
- An experienced and independent set of native proofreaders will
review and crosscheck the translated material to ensure accuracy
and eliminate grammatical, punctuation, typographical, and spelling
errors.
- Translators will not only make sure that mistranslations are
picked up, but that cultural issues are also taken into
consideration and reflected in the finished product.
- A localized translation will ensure a product that is both
culturally sensitive and appropriate.
- The result will be a clear, fluent, and error-free translation
project, which does not appear like a translated document.
These things can only happen when your document is
actually translated by a professional native speaker of the target
language.
