An extremely un-reached market: Iran

Iran has undergone many economical and political embargos since the Islamic Revolution and only few businesses have made their way to Iran because of the US embargo. Now after 3 decades there is a chance for these businesses to be promoted to Iran and show up at an un-touched and new market.

Persian (Iranian Farsi) localization:

Most of these agencies provide English < > Persian (Iranian Farsi) localization services while few also provide services in other languages such as German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, Arabic, etc. While seriously seeking such linguists/agencies make sure you concentrate on the quality of the work. If you don't receive quality localization services then you are not likely to succeed. Don't require quality translations? Then you can also use free online localization services from internet content translators such as Parsian or other internet translators on the web.
