Bring your software to global customers, but make it feel familiar. We don't just translate; we also adapt the culture in your software so you can succeed in new markets.
Bring your software everywhere
Our software localization service goes beyond just translating text. We bring your software closer to users, not only through language but also through colors, fonts, and images, creating a familiar experience. With many years of experience, we will support you through each step of this complex process, ensuring that your product is suitable and appealing in international markets.
Typical software localization challenges:
The word count of the translation can increase by 10% to 40% compared to the original. Careful planning will ensure that your interface still looks appealing when the text is expanded.
Measurement units, dates, and currencies must reflect local standards to create the most natural experience for your users.
When combining words to form sentences in English, this rule does not always apply to Vietnamese. Since word order and sentence structure in Vietnamese are often different, simple concatenation of words can lead to grammatically incorrect or unclear sentences, requiring a deep understanding of the target language.
Arabic, Hebrew, Urdu, and some other languages flow from right to left and from left to right. Extensive adjustments are needed to support these languages.
It is also important to take into account cultural perceptions regarding image choices, icons, illustrations, and colors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Software localization is the process of adapting software to another language, with the ultimate goal of making the software feel familiar. Other aspects of adaptation include culture, formatting (such as dates, times, currencies, and numbers), and legal requirements. Typical elements for localization include the user interface (UI), images, and documentation.
- Integrate localization into the product development process: Treat this as part of the product development cycle to ensure it is given equal importance. This will help manage the budget and release schedule more effectively.
- Separate strings from the code: Avoid hardcoding any elements visible to users into your strings. Creating a version of the source file for each language is a good practice.
- Use simple/easy-to-control language: Using simple, non-localized language will make the translation process easier. By using easily controllable language, you can also leverage the content more effectively in future versions, saving time and money.
Internationalization
The first step is to ensure that your application can be localized for the target market. This stage includes considering the relevant languages and the ability to support the expansion and contraction of application content (most languages expand from Vietnamese or English), character encoding to support languages such as English, European, Asian, or Middle Eastern languages, and format support (dates, times, currencies, etc.).
Localization
Localization is the process of adjusting content; the first step is to extract content from your source files. A high-quality translation management system (TMS) like Memsource makes this step easier as it supports all major file types (including XLIFF, an XML format compliant with localization standards). Pre-project processes will also be carried out, such as developing a glossary before translation to ensure the use of accurate and consistent terminology during the translation stage.
Testing
After the translated and edited content has been imported back into the software, functional and linguistic testing can be performed. The testing includes checking the accuracy of the translation and context, as well as display, data entry, and formatting. A high-quality TMS like Memsource provides the option to drag and drop content, thereby supporting continuous localization practices.

No. 1 Translation works with the most experienced translators, editors, and content creators in the industry worldwide—native speakers of the target language with expertise in the software field. We also advocate for the use of multilingual glossaries to ensure consistency in terminology across your entire website.

No. 1 Translation applies the Multidimensional Quality Metrics (MQM) framework in its quality assurance system.
