What is the difference between translation and localization?
Despite often being used in place of each other, there is a clear difference between process of website translation and website localization.
While Website translation is a process of converting content into a different language through the simple substitution of words, Website localization is a more holistic process of adapting the web content for consumption by a specific audience, Typically involving translation, as well as formatting and usability alterations and a consideration of particular cultural dislikes and likes.
Localization is the process of adapting the appearance, language and functionality of a website for international language markets. The primary goal of localization is a website that:
-
Takes into consideration the linguistic, cultural, and technical differences
-
Maintains the original intent of the source text
-
Reads and feels exactly like it was originally written in the target language
A website localization project at first may appear unnerving, but the end result is a website which opens your business to millions of potential new customers, which is key to the long-term growth of any business.
Why localize your website?
Increase reach & improve user experiences

Quality multilingual content effectively reduces the chances of any customer misunderstandings and misrepresentation of your brand overseas, moreover allowing you to push across the right message and present the correct brand image.
Grow global sales
The ultimate goal of website localization is to tap into the potential international market and increase traffic, eventually resulting in better sales. The ROI for website localization is huge; a well planned international strategy, along with high quality translations makes all the difference to your profit margin.
Our website localization process
Project preparation
Your website localization strategy requires conscientious planning to ensure your project goes off without a hitch. After defining your business needs and target languages, we will work with you to create a detailed project plan and workflow that guarantees completion according to your specifications and expectations. Typical steps in the project preparation phase involve:
-
Extraction of all relevant translatable text
-
Estimation of word counts, costs and turnaround times
-
Term glossary and style guide development
-
Creation of a company-specific translation memory (TM) to store all translated content for ongoing and future use
Project execution
The actual translation stage of a website localization project commences once proper guidelines have been established. In the execution phase, the content is distributed to a group of native speaker translators who are briefed on the peculiarity of the project. The assigned linguists will then translate your content according to the instructions and guidelines, after which, a second group of reviewers will edit all translated text to ensure that it is contextually and culturally appropriate for its intended audience.
Post localization QA
Once all the translated content has been checked and approved, files should be reviewed and tested. At this stage, linguistic and functional quality assurance (QA) are highly essential prior to launch.
