Games, applications and computer programs developers try to present their product for a wider audience right upon the sales begin. And that can be justified: the software is easy and convenient for downloading via browser from any location around the world, and there is no point in being limited to one country only. But how do you make the interface easy to comprehend? Using the software localization, obviously.

What is program localization?

Software localization means the translation of all the program elements and program code into a target language. A wider term: cultural adaptation of the product for a foreign user before the product is on a market of any specific country.

Computer program localization, or adaptation, is rather a technical, then creative process, that involves:

translators;
editors;
programmers;
designers;
testers;
developers;

MK:translations professionals are highly experienced in the linguistics components of the process, but to achieve the maximum effect, the close cooperation with the programmers and designers of the software developers is highly required.

Why is software translation required?

Localization is, basically, an adaption of the product for the new audience, which includes the following:

mentality and cultural peculiarities;
traditions, history, local etiquette;
motivation and preferences of the TA.

As an outcome, there is a new product, created on the basis of the original. The essence and objective never change, but thanks to the adaptation, the users show higher level of interest. In addition, the chances of the incorrect interpretation of the content are minimized. That plays an important role, as a mistake in localization can cost you a lot.
