Short-term investment for your long-term benefit
Localization and Translation is a short-term investment for your long-term benefit. When deciding to move ahead with the translation of your content, it is necessary to remember which one of these two you require for your situation.
Translation focuses on a particular language, which makes it perfect for specific texts, manuals, instructions, technical papers, and, medical data.
And localization focuses on adapting and changing source language into the target language, to convey your message with maximum influence on the target audience. To know the difference between translation and localization, let’s start with a simple description:
Website translation is the method of translating a source language of web content such as text, eBooks, multimedia, or apps into a target language by substituting words from one language to another in context.
Website localization goes beyond translation to change the source language and other site elements to appeal to the customer’s cultural preferences in their target language.
