Localization

Liaison Multilingual Services, Inc. offers comprehensive globalization services.  Globalization provides opportunities for clients to enter new international markets, while growing present markets.

Globalization is the process of adapting a product, service, application or document content to meet the language, cultural and other requirements of a specific target market, a locale. Localization necessitates a comprehensive rethinking of logic, visual design or presentation in a given locale.  Adapting to a sub culture is a part of localization. “In Rome, do as Romans do” is the localization philosophy of LMS.  This is particularly important where dialects and customs change and evolve even within the same country the translation is aimed at.  For instance, your needs may not be met, should you require a translation targeted for Mexico or China without understanding the localization required for specific purposes.  This is where Liaison Multilingual’s expertise is especially valuable.

The development of a product, application or document varies in languages, cultures, and regions.

Localization can entail customization related to:

  1. Use of currency
  2. Varying legal requirements
  3. Numeric, time and date formats
  4. Keyboard usage
  5. Icons, symbols and colors

Localization and Internationalization, sometimes, are thought to be the same concept.  Internationalization is the design and development of a product, application or document content, which enables easy localization for target audiences, which vary according to culture, region or language. Ideally, internationalization occurs as a fundamental step in the design and development process.
