Software Localization in Popular Languages
Launching into new markets is easier when your UI, onboarding, and support content are consistent across languages. Below are common target languages for product localization. Need a different locale? We support translation into 80+ languages.
Software Localization That Fits Your Product
Localization is not just translation — it’s making your interface feel native while preserving product logic. We localize strings, UI text, onboarding, and supporting content with attention to variables, tone, and formatting — without breaking builds.
What software localization covers
We localize UI and product content with the constraints that real software has: placeholders, character limits, plural rules, and different date/number formats. The goal is simple — your localized UI should read naturally and behave correctly.
You can start small (a single release or one module) and grow into continuous localization as your update frequency increases.
When teams typically order localization
Software localization is most effective when it’s aligned with release cycles and product ownership. Common cases include:
- New market entry (app/web expansion to new languages)
- Major releases (UI/UX refresh, onboarding, new flows)
- App Store / Play Store metadata (title, subtitle, descriptions)
- Help center and support (FAQs, macros, articles)
- Legal and trust content (privacy, terms, consent screens)
If you deliver multiple assets at once, we align terminology across UI + help center + marketing for a consistent user experience.
Localization Requirements That Prevent Rework
The fastest localization happens when we get the right context upfront: source files, placeholders, and the intended tone. This reduces UI bugs, inconsistent terminology, and last-minute string rewrites.
What we need from you
You can send files directly or share an export from your repository/TMS. If you’re unsure what format you have, upload what you have — we’ll confirm the best workflow.
- Source strings (JSON, XML, RESX, PO, XLIFF, YAML, iOS/Android)
- Context (screenshots, Figma links, notes, or staging access)
- Rules (placeholders, variables, plural forms, character limits)
- Terminology (glossary + “do not translate” list)
- Style guide (tone, formality, brand voice)
- Locales (target language + region if needed, e.g., en-US vs en-GB)
What We Localize for Software Products
A localized product feels consistent end-to-end: UI, onboarding, support, and trust pages. We can localize a single asset or a complete release bundle — while keeping terminology aligned.
Product UI & in-app text
Common localization targets for apps, SaaS, dashboards, and web products:
- Buttons, menus, navigation, settings
- Error messages and system notifications
- Onboarding flows and tooltips
- Checkout and subscription screens
Help center & support
Localization that reduces tickets by making self-service content clear:
- Knowledge base articles
- FAQs and automated replies
- In-product guidance and tours
- Release notes and update emails
Marketing, SEO & app listings
Localization that stays persuasive and brand-aligned across markets:
- Landing pages and feature pages
- App Store / Play Store metadata
- Product emails and lifecycle messages
- SEO-focused content (when required)
Website Localization for WordPress, Joomla & SEO
If your product has a website, localization should cover more than page text. We adapt website content for international audiences, keep navigation consistent, and support CMS workflows — with SEO in mind when it matters. Learn more on our dedicated page: Website Translation.
What we localize on websites
We translate and localize site content in a way that preserves structure and user experience — from core pages to UI elements inside your CMS.
- Landing pages, service pages, blog posts, help center articles
- Menus, buttons, forms, popups, and UX microcopy
- Image alt text, captions, and on-page CTAs
- Legal/trust pages (privacy, terms, consent messages)
- Structured content and reusable blocks (where applicable)
Turnaround Time & Delivery
Software localization works best when it’s predictable. We confirm scope fast, localize with QA, and deliver ready-to-import files. If you need a quote urgently, we can respond within 30 minutes.
Typical workflow
- 1) Scope check: file formats, locales, constraints, and context
- 2) Localization: human translation with terminology alignment
- 3) QA: checks for placeholders, punctuation, consistency, and style
- 4) Delivery: localized files ready for import + optional change log
Delivery format and QA focus
We treat software strings differently from plain text. That means preserving tokens, avoiding truncation where possible, and aligning terminology across screens. If you provide UI context, we can reduce the most common causes of localization regressions.
- Placeholder/variable integrity (e.g., {0}, %s, {{name}})
- Consistency across UI + help content
- Locale-specific punctuation, numbers, and dates
- Optional LQA round based on screenshots/build
For regulated content in specific industries, we can assign domain-matched linguists (e.g., healthcare or legal).
Choose Your Localization Speed
Pricing depends on language pair, volume, string complexity, and QA requirements. Use the packages below as a simple way to pick urgency — or request a custom quote for ongoing work.
Standard • Planned release
Best for scheduled sprints and routine updates when you can plan ahead.
- Balanced speed and cost
- Terminology alignment included
- Placeholder checks included
- Delivery: ready-to-import files
Priority • Faster cycle
For faster iteration when you want localization to keep up with product velocity.
- Priority assignment
- Additional QA attention
- Best for feature launches
- Optional LQA add-on
Rush • Tight deadline
For urgent releases. Availability depends on languages and workload.
- Fastest possible start
- Best for hotfixes & critical updates
- QA focused on risk reduction
- Clear delivery checkpoints
What’s Included in Software Localization
Every order is handled with quality, speed, and confidentiality in mind. We localize in a way that supports engineering constraints, protects terminology, and reduces UI regressions.
Translation + localization QA
Designed for product strings and customer-facing assets. We translate with context, preserve placeholders, and apply terminology consistently. Delivery is structured for import and review.
Included
- Professional human localization
- Terminology and style guide alignment
- Checks for placeholders, tags, and formatting
- Consistency across UI + related documentation (when provided)
- Delivery of ready-to-import localized files
- Confidential handling of proprietary assets
Translation vs Software Localization
If your content is “just text,” translation may be enough. If your content lives inside a product UI, localization is the safer choice — it accounts for real-world constraints and user experience.
Plain translation
Best for standalone documents or long-form content where layout constraints are minimal. In UI contexts, plain translation often misses tokens, truncation risks, and context.
- Best for: documents, reports, long-form pages
- Context: typically limited
- Constraints: fewer checks for placeholders/length
- Risk: higher chance of UI regressions
Software localization
Localization is translation adapted for software. It preserves variables, respects UI limits, and aligns terminology so the interface feels native and consistent.
- Best for: apps, SaaS, websites, dashboards
- Context: screenshots/build notes improve accuracy
- Constraints: placeholders, plurals, formats, limits
- Outcome: fewer release blockers and rework
What Clients Say About Our Localization
We localized our onboarding and settings screens and the team handled placeholders correctly from day one. The delivery was clean, and we didn’t have to “fix strings” during QA.
Communication was straightforward and the glossary rules were respected across UI and help center articles. It felt like a stable process, not a one-off translation.
We had tight deadlines for a feature launch. The priority option helped us ship without delaying the release, and terminology stayed consistent across multiple modules.
Confidentiality was important because strings contained internal product logic. The workflow was secure, and delivery was exactly in the format engineering needed.
