Localization of websites, online shops and applications

Expand abroad and gain new customers. Your content will resonate across world markets.

In today’s globalized world, localization plays a vital role in effective communication in the international environment. But what exactly is localization and why is it so important? Let’s see.

What is localization?

Localization in the translation business is a specialized process that goes beyond the scope of plain translation. It involves editing and adapting the content to make it relevant and appealing to a specific target audience in a given cultural and language context. This process involves adjusting the language, date and time formats, units of measure, currency and many other elements to make the content correspond to the specific needs of the target market.

The difference between translation and localization

While translation is about transferring the meaning of the content from one language to another, localization focuses on adapting this content to increase its relevance and efficiency for a particular culture, country or region. Translation is just the first step, while localization is a deeper process taking into account a number of aspects.

The importance of localization

Localization is essential for your success when entering new markets. Customers prefer content that is available in their mother tongue and corresponds to their cultural customs and practices. Proper localization can significantly affect overall brand perception, sales, and user satisfaction.
