What is Software Localization?

Software Localization is more than the translation of a product's user interface. Companies localize software in order to overcome cultural barriers for their products to reach a much larger target audience.

Software Localization is the modification of a product to include support for the cultural norms of a target country, including the specific language required in that country.

Example of Software Localization

An example of this is the provision of multiple Spanish versions of a product to support Spain, Mexico, and Latin America. All these countries and regions share the same language. What keeps them apart is the cultural norms of every country. This means that different versions of the product are needed for each country.

At DGTranslations we provide all the services you would expect from a Software Localization market leader.
