What is localization?
Localization is the translation of the product plus converting it linguistically and culturally to be appropriate to the target
culture. The simplest example of localization is converting inches into centimeters the translation. For software localizing I
use Passolo program, this is rather good assistant.
What the additional information should I give when ordering a translation?
In order to complete the translation to the highest possible standard, I would appreciate if you could provide me with the
information on your company or product, the purpose of the translation and its target audience. This will help me to
produce quality translation relevant for your required
purpose.
What is TM, CAT or TB?
Translation memory (TM) is a database of segments – sentences or sentence-like units that have been trabslated by a
translator. They can be integrated into some software programs, which are called Computer-assisted translation (CAT).
Obtaining a versatile translation memories is not only a pride also a large benefit for every translator.
Terminology
bases (TB) contain single words or few words to desribe the field-specialized terms.
Using auto translation usually is
completely unnaceptable, while using CAT and TB is a professional and progressive approach, these tools are meant to
help translator reaching the best quality.
