A high-quality translation is all about details

Giving your content a native feel is what you want for your products or services when addressing new markets abroad. Therefore, our experts will pay special attention to a wide range of features like:

  • Country-specific terms

    e.g. “health facility” is “établissement de santé” in France, but “formation sanitaire” in African Francophone countries

  • Dates and times

  • Units of measurement

  • Currencies

  • Idiomatic expressions

    e.g. “to eat like a horse” in French is “manger comme quatre”

  • Geographical terminology

    the names of certain cities may or may not be translated

  • Alphabetically ordered lists

    depending on the target language

  • Adapting graphics and design

Flexible workflow, from simple to complex

Alongside the translation service, we can provide revision, review or proofreading included in the same service or for an extra fee. Depending on your type of content and your communication purposes you have the possibility to choose between TO (translation only), TE (translation and editing) or TEP (Translation, Edition, Proofreading).

We usually employ TEP, which is a three-step process that ensures professional translation of excellent quality and final documents that are ready to be published.

Some of our clients are used to machine translation as they have large volumes with repetitive terms that take up a lot of human resource. In these cases, we can provide machine translation post-editing (MPTE) services.


Localization to better adapt your product or service to your audience

Localization (L10N) means adapting your product to different languages and regions and it goes beyond traditional translation, involving other crucial tasks like project management, software engineering, testing and desktop publishing.

Adapting a software, mobile app or a game to a specific market involves a comprehensive study of the local culture, understanding how consumers interact with that content, their linguistic preferences, even their specific consumption habits.

Think about the latest smartphone, home device or appliance, or the most eagerly awaited game release on multiple markets, all of these products need the best localization services. For example, software localization is initiated in parallel with the development of the source product to ensure simultaneous delivery for all language versions needed.

In our experience, this would be the most common process for a localization project:​


1. Internationalization or Preparing for translation
Text fragments, time and date formatting, currency, sometimes choice of images
2. Extracting text strings for translation
Make sure not to embed text into the code, but to extract and convert the files to formats that the translation teams could work with.
3. Brief with translators and reviewers
Provide style guides, glossaries and reference materials
4. Review to ensure quality
Generally, a second reviewer intervenes to check accuracy and measure text quality.

5. Integration of translation files
The files are to be transferred to the development team and integrated in the code.
6. Testing the product
At this stage, testers, native speakers of the target language use the product in beta test to track bugs, language inconsistencies and other errors.
7. Extra-Review and QA
Extra-review is often needed, and files will come back to the reviewer or the QA manager.
8. Publishing / Release
Your product is now ready for your target audience, you can sell it on these new markets.

We can provide localization for web and mobile apps, software or games, so let’s discuss about your next project.
