Software localization<\/strong>\u00a0is a service that offers significant\u00a0benefits<\/strong>\u00a0to those who produce and market software, and especially its users, yet few people know\u00a0how it works.<\/strong>\u00a0This is why we have decided to explore this topic.<\/p>\n

It is first worth recalling what is meant by localization. In the language sector, the term refers to a language service distinct from traditional translation. Localizing a text means not only making it understandable linguistically, but also culturally.<\/p>\n

Language is full of expressions with meanings closely related to their respective cultures: Just think of idioms or puns which, if translated literally, would be meaningless to those immersed in a different cultural context.<\/p>\n

Moreover, localization is not limited to culturally transposing text, but also applies to other elements such as icons, images, symbols, etc., which is why it is also performed on software. An icon that is obviously a mailbox to people in one country might look like cheese in another.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
