What does localization mean in software?

In software, localization refers to the process of adapting a product, application, or content to meet the language, cultural, and other specific requirements of a particular target market or region. It goes beyond simple translation of text and involves tailoring the software to align with local conventions, preferences, and expectations.

Tips for software localization
How to translate an app

App localization is a process that sees all text and assets adapted for a new global audience. Localization will require export of text strings, which will be translated into your new target languages. Full localization goes beyond just the app itself - your user documentation and policies should also be adapted for the new audience in order to ensure a robust user experience and improve customer loyalty to your products.

What should I be careful of when localizing a piece of software?

Our biggest piece of advice is to ensure that you aren't hard-coding text into your application, as this can cause issues during translation. We'd also recommend ensuring that your app design can adapt to potential text expansion.
