The art and science of translation

“Effective localization is your best passport to today’s global high-tech market.”

Overview

As globalization becomes a process and not an option in any business decisions and driven by shrinking local markets, the need to enter foreign markets becomes a matter of survival for most businesses.

“Globalization” to an organization is no longer a business vision but a crucial strategy as the global market becomes a single entity.

Localization - more than just translation

Having a slice of the global market entails more than just having a good product. The paradox of globalization is the act of strengthening of individuality by the different nations. Thus it is no longer enough for a product to be good, it must also be seen as if it was specially developed for the local market. Thus getting your product ready for use around the world goes deeper than just translating its contents.

Localization is the process of adapting and translating a software application, user documentation, marketing materials, etc. into another language in order to make it linguistically and culturally appropriate for a particular local market.

Apart from the translation of texts, other elements such as local conventions, time/date displays, measurement systems, numbers and currency, legal conventions, character encoding and fonts, etc. must also be considered.

Website Translation

Although it is still true that English remains the world’s most popular language, it is only the native language of around 30% of the global Internet population. This means that majority of the Internet users do not speak English at all; out of those who speak English as a second language, many would still prefer to receive and read information in their native languages.

Lingua Tech Singapore can help you translate and localize your websites into a wide range of languages.

Software Localization

Software localization involves the adaptation of a software product to the linguistic, cultural and technical needs of the target market. Lingua Tech Singapore offers localization solutions for a wide range of software applications. We are capable of localizing resource files, help files, GUI, error messages, as well as resizing and repositioning of GUI components after localization. We can also work together with international engineering and testing centers with standard localization tools to perform visual and functional testings.

Lingua Tech Singapore aims to provide international companies with an entrance into the Asian market by eliminating software usage problems that may have been caused by language barriers.

Translation Asset Management (TAM)

Working seamlessly with human translation effort, our Translation Asset Management (TAM) System can handle and process huge volumes of translation work, improve efficiency and quality by leveraging previously completed and approved translations. Updates or changes in your source documents can also be tracked quickly and extracted for translation.

Our TAM system stores all previous translations of product contents, technical documentations, marketing communications materials, etc. in our centrally managed Translation Memory Database for recycling in future. This greatly reduces the amount of time required for translation of similar materials and at the same time, enhances accuracy and consistency.

Multilingual Glossary/Terminology Management

To raise the bar for consistency and accuracy, our in-house linguistics and projects management team constantly maintain and update terminologies and glossaries to expand the coverage of terms leveraging. All these are done with the help of a Terminology Management Software that is integrated into our Translation Asset Management System to enable consistent use of terminologies.
