Translation, localization, and testing of software and applications

If you want to internationalize your software and turn it into a tool that works in several different languages, you’ll need quality localization to make sure the language flows smoothly and naturally. CPSL provides smart translation that harnesses cultural nuances to ensure that all of the pieces of your software fit together, lending it authenticity.

The use of state-of-the-art localization tools, coupled with our consulting services, mean that CPSL can help you save time and money.

We provide you with the following services:

• File conversion and text extraction for optimized localization
• Localization of software, help files, and media files
• Compilation of help files, testing and checking (functional and linguistic), and error correction

During the text extraction phase, all translatable content is made available for translators to work on without disrupting a website, an app, or software code. After this preparation, experienced linguists localize all files into the target language: they have reference materials available, as well as indications about the right tone of voice to use and the target audience. Subsequently, if you need testing solutions for software and web post‑localization, linguists now have access to the target text in context and can conduct a functional and linguistic check of a translated website, app, or program. This verification is important because it is the phase in which you can check out text length, UI, form, and the content as it appears in various web browsers or devices, right before being deployed for production. The idea is to identify potential bugs and resolve them, thereby ensuring effective operation of a website, software, or an app and subsequently providing a seamless user experience.Sometimes we encounter technically demanding customers who are already using an existing workflow.

That was the case with a scientific company in the nanotechnology sector that asked us to localize its software. We have translated 3.1 million words for them so far. The secret to our success was working side-by-side with them to define a new workflow, to find linguistic aspects that could help improve the results, and to create a suitable glossary of terms.
