WHAT IS LOCALIZATION SERVICES?

It is the process of tailoring a certain product for a specific market, country, or region. And when it comes to language localization it refers to adapting translated material to be in line with the target audience cultural norms, which requires a comprehensive study of the target culture in order to correctly adapt the product to local needs.

TRANSLATION VS. LOCALIZATION SERVICE

It might be hard sometimes to draw limits between translation and localization, where they sometimes overlap, however, localization basically handles substantial non-textual components of products or services. This might involve working with graphics, currencies, time zone, and appropriate format and color, among other details.

These modifications are done mainly to realize cultural sensitivities, working to speak the target audience’s language, and providing their needs.

Translation will transfer the text/service into the language of your target audience, which will be classical written text, which is not exactly the language people usually speak in their daily lives or the suitable one to talk with them about certain products or services.

Localization experts in this context need a thorough understanding of local terms associated with a specific shopping or procurement context and important keywords.
