software localization

About....

The procedure of localization or globalisation is necessary when a designer or developer of applications requires multi-lingual distribution of their product outside the borders of their country of origin. This is applicable as much in the domain of on-board software for industrial equipment as in applications and drivers intended for the general public. In all cases, it is better to give this task to a specialist who utilises tools specifically designed for this complex job.

Stages in undertaking a localization project

Definition of the source and target language (s) for the application. We translate all modern European languages.
Extraction of the table of functional terms included in the source code of the application.
Translation of the terms into target language (s) and re-injection into the source code of the application.
Delivery of the client application in multi-lingual version.

Our skills in this area

1 Tools: After thorough research, we have opted for the MULTILIZER LANGUAGE MANAGER solution which is perfectly adapted for treating applications created in Delphi, C++ and Java. This allows us to manage the entire chain of localization for several languages simultaneously and to execute their re-injection into the final client application.
2 Linguistic Competence: Translation is made by translators who are specialists in their mother tongue.
3 Technical Competence: Each translator also possesses the necessary skills in computing to accomplish localization.

Applications treated
