Localization

Translation plus customization — products that look and feel as though they were created in the target country.

There is a growing awareness among companies today that product localization helps create customer loyalty and generate repeated visits to websites and use of software programs.

Speaking the language of customers helps companies increase their sales in target markets. In localizing their content, e.g. software, collaterals or websites, companies need to ensure that their content is localized with grammatical differences, cultural sensitivities and stylistic choices in mind. In other words; localization is the sum of translation plus customization that is required to create a product that looks and feels as though it was created in the target country.

Arabic localization / Arabization is the process of adapting the language, appearance, and functionality of a product and/or a website for Arabic-speaking markets.

The localization process

The localization process usually involves a number of phases:

  1. Preparing and analyzing the source material
  2. Translating the software
  3. Engineering the localized version
  4. Testing the localized product
  5. Delivering the localized product
