One Stop Shop software localization process

1. Planning & evaluation

First we analyse the files and develop the project plan while listening to your needs. We then tell you what we can deliver and when. We also inform you of any regulatory and cultural adaptation issues that need to be taken into account for your specific project. In addition to the planning and analysis we also provide the process definition to the client.

2. Extracting assets from source software into translatable format

Once all issues have been identified and resolved in the pre-project consultation phase, we extract the translatable text from the source files into a translator friendly environment using different applications depending on the source files format.

3. Re-integrating translated assets

After translation in the Translator friendly environment the translated assets are re-integrated back into their original format and tested linguistically and functionally to ensure that they adhere to all the linguistic, cultural, legal and branding criteria of the target locale.

Here are the components that we typically deal with for software localization projects

Localization quality assurance

Our engineering process is based on a model which includes extensive Quality Assurance procedures. Each software localization project is completed within a consistent, quality-centric framework. Quality and workflow processes can be adapted to integrate with existing client-side environments. During all phases of the localization life cycle process our management and production team control every aspect of the process through our quality assurance procedures.

Managing your localized software assets

Of increasing importance to all companies engaged in software localization projects, is the need to re-use previously translated assets. These tools also ensure consistency and accuracy.
