Translation Service

Software Localization That Reads Like It Was Written in the Target Language.

We localize software interfaces, user documentation, help centers, and app content. Our technical translators have development or technical writing backgrounds and understand the constraints of software localization.

Technical Software Localization

Software localization is not just about translating strings. A translated interface needs to fit into the same UI space as the original. German is approximately 30% longer than English -- a button label that reads 'Settings' in English might need a creative solution in German that respects both the meaning and the character limit. We know this and we build it into our process.

We work with all major file formats used in software localization: XLIFF, JSON, XML, .strings files for iOS, Android resource files, PO/POT files for gettext, and any other format your build system produces. We return files in the format you send.

For teams with existing glossaries or style guides, we apply them rigorously and flag inconsistencies. If you are starting without one, we build the terminology database as part of the project so future work is faster and more consistent.

We also handle developer documentation, API references, README files, and technical support content. Good developer documentation in German requires someone who understands what a webhook is, what a rate limit means, and what 'idempotent' refers to. Our technical translators meet this standard.

All software localization projects include a review pass for contextual accuracy -- strings in isolation do not always read naturally in context, and we check for this.
