Software Translation

Are you planning to expand into a new market and need your software or app to connect with your target audience? To launch successfully in other countries, your content needs to be adapted to the language and culture of the people who will use it.

At Nóvalo, we bring extensive experience and a specialized translation and localization team to provide comprehensive cultural, linguistic, and technical adaptation services.

Software localization ensures that users around the world can access intuitive interfaces and relevant content in their native language. This improves customer satisfaction, adds value to your brand, and helps your business stay competitive in its target markets.

Working with a professional software localization company like Nóvalo means having an experienced partner to guide and advise you throughout the process and help ensure a successful outcome.

Translating and localizing your software can help you:

• Attract more users: The stronger your software’s reputation, the greater its visibility in local and regional markets.
• Improve customer retention: When your target audience feels comfortable using your software or app, they are more likely to stay loyal to your brand, make repeat purchases, and recommend your product.
• Gain a competitive advantage: Users prefer software products localized into their own language over those that are not.

How software and app translation and localization work

Localizing your software or app involves adapting the following elements to the language and culture of your target market:

• User interfaces: Text strings, dialog boxes, drop-down menus, online help, and other interface elements.
• Graphic design elements: Images, graphics, and other visual assets.
• Technical documentation: Installation guides, user manuals, license agreements, and related materials.
• Video dialogue and subtitles.

App localization

Localizing your mobile app can significantly increase its reach and improve customer satisfaction by providing a more personalized and relevant user experience. This involves translating your content, adapting images, colors, and graphic elements, and accounting for regulatory requirements that may vary between markets.

At Nóvalo, we advise you on the adaptations your app needs for each target market. Once localization is complete, we carry out functional and linguistic testing to ensure that your app works correctly on the appropriate operating systems and that its content is clear to your target audience.

For example, when testing buttons, we check both their functionality (whether they perform the intended action) and their appearance (whether the text fits correctly without being cut off or misaligned).

With thorough cultural research, the right tools, and careful execution, a mobile app can be successfully adapted to any market and deliver an excellent user experience.

From the moment we receive your localization project until its final delivery, the Nóvalo team manages every stage of the process while keeping your specific requirements in mind.

We also use advanced computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools to ensure high-quality results. These tools allow us to:

• Work directly with source code, eliminating the need to separate the text from the code itself.

• Distinguish translatable text from non-translatable code to prevent accidental changes to the code.

• Access the full context of the software, giving translators the information they need to make accurate linguistic decisions.

• Preview translations within the software interface and even adjust interface elements or translation length to meet space and character restrictions.

• Create translation memories to maintain consistency and improve efficiency throughout the project.

• Compile and link translated files to build the complete application and perform testing to verify the quality of the final product.

In addition to our advanced translation tools, we use dedicated project management platforms to monitor every stage of the localization process and facilitate collaboration among team members.
