Localization

For conducting business globally and effectively, localization is the key term. In simple words, it is the process of acclimatizing a product or service to a specific language and culture (look and feel). Localization can indeed be a time-consuming and tiresome chore and most of the software companies delay it due to the high cost of hiring and contracting local translation vendors. At the same time, the entrepreneurs are also aware of its importance in carrying forward their booming business.

At Integral Fusion, we try our best keep our clients contended and hence offer localization services to rapidly and economically deliver quality products. In order to meet our clients’ localization requirements, the localization engineers, QA team and language translators in Integral Fusion provide detailed information about the clients’ products which enable these companies to reach their customers globally without any hassles.

Moreover, to verify the product quality we provide complete assistance by thoroughly testing the keyboard shortcuts, proper data display and compatibility of each software product that undergoes localization. For this, Integral Fusion provides certain Software Adaptation services to its clients:

• Extracting & localizing strings
• Updating graphic elements (screenshots, UIs, fonts, etc.)
• Enabling run-time language switching
• Resizing and rearranging dialog controls
• Rebuilding resource files
• Correctly formatting dates and times, currency values, and decimal numbers

It is worth mentioning that Integral Fusion offered localization services to innumerable clients in the past few years. In order to maintain our work standards, we have teamed up our in-house translators and partners to translate text into dozens of languages. We have additional features that create custom fonts and localize the texts in various sub-files, user documentation and other product-related information.

Technologically, we have localized an extensive variety of software products using wide-ranging technologies and programming languages such as Microsoft C++, .net, C#, HTML, etc. In order to make the localization process faster and competent, our team at Integral Fusion follows certain platform-specific technologies:

• Satellite assemblies containing localized resources and XML/XSLT-based layouts for .NET, Visual Basic, and ASP/ASPX platforms
• Localized resources for C++ projects
• Custom Localization Solutions that would enable one to change the localized string "on the fly" without the need to rebuild and reinstall the software

TRADOS, Alchemy Catalyst and Passolo are certain tools that can minimize the translation costs and hence these tools are used by the Localization team at Integral Fusion to maintain consistent translation for each product. In Integral Fusion we do nothing that is unpleasant and can produce the Certificate of Authenticity where required.
