How Software Localization Works
A developer-friendly workflow that fits your release cycle.
Connect & Scope
We integrate with your repository or localization platform and analyze your file formats, string volume, and target locales.
Translate in Context
Native-speaking linguists translate UI strings, documentation, and help content with screenshots and context so nothing breaks layout or meaning.
QA & Linguistic Testing
We run in-context review and functional checks for truncation, encoding, placeholders, and pluralization across every locale.
Deliver & Continuously Localize
Translated resources flow back into your build, and new strings are localized continuously as you ship.
Software Localization FAQ
Answers to common questions about file formats, integrations, and turnaround.
What file formats do you support?+
We work with 40+ formats including JSON, XLIFF, PO/POT, RESX, .strings, ARB, YAML, and Markdown — extracting only translatable strings while preserving code and placeholders.
Can you integrate with our CI/CD pipeline?+
Yes. We integrate with platforms like Crowdin, Lokalise, Phrase, GitHub, and GitLab so localization runs automatically as part of your release workflow.
How do you handle context for UI strings?+
We use screenshots, in-context previews, and developer notes so translators can see where each string appears, avoiding layout breaks and mistranslations.
What is continuous localization?+
As new or changed strings are committed, they are automatically queued for translation and returned quickly, keeping every locale in sync with your main branch.
Do you test the localized build?+
Yes. Our QA and linguistic testing checks for truncation, character encoding, broken placeholders, pluralization, and right-to-left rendering before release.
How fast is turnaround?+
Turnaround depends on volume, but continuous localization typically returns new strings within 24-72 hours; rush options are available.
