“David is an excellent translator and a lovely guy to work with. He is extremely professional and takes his job seriously, producing perfect translations and giving a marvellous service. It is an honour to work with him and I hope we can continue in the future.”
But, what is localisation exactly?
When we translate texts, we focus on converting them with the same intention, so that the target texts sound natural and meet the same objectives.
However, when we localise, we go a step futher We focus on the concept and objectives behind a text and we adapt them to a new audience through texts that have a bigger impact on it.
Personally, I like to say that localisation is the combination of translation and copywriting services. We transform texts into a different language by implementing techniques of persuasive writing to adapt them to the needs and problems of your new audience and keeping the main concepts of the original text.
