LOCALIZATION
Localization Service is one of the key offerings of Vinsys-FLS. While translation involves the flat alteration and transformation of textual content from one language to other, localization factors in many more subtle elements. It takes into consideration customs, norms, cultural and linguistic sensitivities of the target geographic locale and adapts a product or service accordingly for that locale. Localization can be critical to marketing a product/brand in other regions and helps it connect with users in a new locale.
Localization in the language industry generally involves interfaces of mobile computing and communication devices, localizing User Interfaces of software, websites, and documentation on one hand, and marketing content (both text and multimedia), etc. Parameters that need modification during localization include units of measurement, currency, idioms and puns, taboo words, references from popular media, etc. Localize a product/ service/ document(s)/ content for a specific locale or market. A dedicated resource “Localization Engineer” has to understand the features and specifications before anything else. This is a process where the professional is required to work with a team of translators and has to explain about the features / need and provide necessary information so that they can translate it into the target language accordingly. This helps the translated documents finalized under the guidance of the engineer handling the localization operations.
