What it means to localize software<\/h2>\n

Language localization of software is based on a complete process of adapting the computer program to the language and culture<\/strong> of the end user in all its parts (layout, images, videos, text, etc.).<\/p>\n

The process of software localization takes into account not only the activity of translation of the texts <\/strong>but also all aspects related to the usability of the tool<\/strong> in order to make the software functional and easy to use for the end user in a given country.<\/p>\n

Localization of the software may involve changes to the size and position of the buttons<\/strong> on the page, to the general design<\/strong> of the computer program, or to the code on the back-end<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For example, imagine that you need to market software for the Chinese market<\/strong>. A simple translation can make text and instructions clear enough but with some usability problems. The font used may be too small to read or may not support the Chinese alphabet, or the length of the text may not be suitable for the medium used.<\/p>\n

When you think about all these issues, you can easily see how software localization is something to keep in mind if you need to translate software<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default” offset=”vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-3″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”64px” constrain_group_1=”yes” bottom_padding=”64px” top_padding_tablet=”64px” constrain_group_3=”yes” bottom_padding_tablet=”64px” top_padding_phone=”40px” constrain_group_5=”yes” bottom_padding_phone=”40px” top_margin=”64px” constrain_group_7=”yes” bottom_margin=”64px” top_margin_tablet=”40px” constrain_group_9=”yes” bottom_margin_tablet=”40px” top_margin_phone=”24px” constrain_group_11=”yes” bottom_margin_phone=”24px” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” class=”sezione-immagine-centrale” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]\"\"[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”32px”][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]\n

Mistakes to Avoid When Localizing Software<\/h2>\n

As with any type of translation, errors of carelessness are always lurking when localizing software. Many of them actually include everything related to the cultural references<\/b> of the target language.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For example, it would be a serious mistake to translate texts from one language to another but neglect to change the date format, which, as we know, varies significantly from country to country.<\/span><\/p>\n

Secondly, it would be a serious mistake not to translate the <\/span>units of measurement<\/b>: especially software that processes user-entered data should display the correct units of measurement in force in a given country.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even the translation of the actual text could pose some difficulties, especially in countries where there is a clear separation between the formal and informal registers of the spoken language. It will therefore be necessary to identify the most appropriate register for the type of software being translated and adhere to it in a rigorous, correct, yet fluid manner.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”8px”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#f6f8fa” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”68px” bottom_padding=”68px” top_margin=”28px” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”20px” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”32px”][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]<\/span><\/p>\n

Software Localization: The Three Key Areas<\/h2>\n

Software localization refers to the process of translating the user interface to adapt to the needs of users other than those for whom the software was initially designed.
\nLocalization therefore allows users of different languages \u200b\u200bto use the software quickly and effectively, as if it were programmed in their native language.
\nHere are the three key aspects<\/strong> to keep in mind during the software localization process.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”32px”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”8px”][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]\n

Texts and Writing Systems<\/h3>\n

Localizing texts and writing systems is the basic operation of software localization<\/strong>. Texts are the main means through which a user interacts with the software, for example, entering data, reading instructions, filling out a form, and obtaining the information they need.
\nNaturally, transitioning from one writing system to another<\/strong> can pose difficulties that should not be underestimated<\/strong>. What happens, for example, when switching from an alphabetic writing system to one that uses kanji? This is why it is advisable to always rely on a professional translation agency<\/strong> and avoid “do-it-yourself” localizations.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”32px”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”8px”][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]\n

Graphic Design<\/h3>\n

Software also includes graphic design<\/strong>, or visual materials that, thanks to the combination of text, images, and colors, help convey the message to the user using the IT platform.
\nSoftware localization must also take graphic design<\/strong> into account. It must therefore be able to translate text, images, and colors from one language to another while maintaining the same message (and the same effectiveness of the message) produced in the source language.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”32px”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”8px”][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]\n

User Experience (UX)<\/h3>\n

User Experience<\/strong>, often abbreviated “UX,” refers to the user experience, or how a user interacts with a software program, website, or app.
\nDuring the software localization process, it is essential that the UX in the original language is not altered<\/strong>. Effective software localization allows for adapting (and possibly modifying) certain elements to make the user experience effective for the target market. To do this, it must take various aspects into account. For example, the use of the reference currency<\/strong> (euros, dollars, pounds, etc.) or the culture of the target country<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”8px”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”64px” constrain_group_1=”yes” bottom_padding=”64px” top_padding_tablet=”64px” constrain_group_3=”yes” bottom_padding_tablet=”64px” top_padding_phone=”40px” constrain_group_5=”yes” bottom_padding_phone=”40px” top_margin=”64px” constrain_group_7=”yes” bottom_margin=”64px” top_margin_tablet=”40px” constrain_group_9=”yes” bottom_margin_tablet=”40px” top_margin_phone=”24px” constrain_group_11=”yes” bottom_margin_phone=”24px” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” class=”sezione-documenti” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]TRANSLATED CONTENT<\/span>
