Developing software products for a global audience requires technology companies to rapidly and cost-effectively translate these products into every language imaginable. Although localization is necessary to conducting international business, it can also be a tedious and time-consuming task that takes considerable resources away from core software R&D. Often, localization is significantly delayed due to the high cost of hiring internally or locating and contracting with local translation vendors.
GlobalLogic's software adaptation and language translation services enable clients to rapidly and economically deliver quality products without having to hire or manage a dedicated localization team. With software R&D centers in the US, India, Ukraine and China, GlobalLogic is able to utilize its global presence to meet a client's localization requirements. Our localization engineers, quality assurance (QA) engineers and language translators provide an attention to detail and knowledge of our clients' products and geographies that will enable these companies to effectively reach their customers globally. |

GlobalLogic provides the following software adaptation services to its clients. Our QA engineers thoroughly test the look and feel, keyboard shortcuts, proper data display and compatibility of each software product that is localized to ensure maximum product quality.
- Extracting & localizing strings
- Updating graphic elements (screenshots, UIs, fonts, etc.)
- Enabling run-time language switching
- Resizing and rearranging dialog controls
- Rebuilding resource files
- Correctly formatting dates and times, currency values, and decimal numbers
Over the years, GlobalLogic has localized a wide variety of software products using a broad range of technologies and programming languages, including Microsoft C++, .NET, C#, embedded systems, HTML and other Web technologies. Our team leverages the following platform-specific technologies to make localization faster and more efficient:
- Satellite assemblies containing localized resources and XML/XSLT-based layouts for .NET, Visual Basic, and ASP/ASPX platforms
- Localized resources for C++ projects
- Custom localization solutions that enable one to change the localized string "on the fly" without needing to rebuild and reinstall the software

| GlobalLogic leverages a mixture of in-house and partner translators to translate text into English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Russian, Ukrainian, Hindi, Chinese, Arabic, Japanese and dozens of other languages. In addition to localizing the content of the software product itself, we can create custom language fonts and translate the text located in help files, release notes, user documentation and other product-related information. We also have experience managing field reviews in the localized product’s target country.
GlobalLogic's localization teams and partners use tools like TRADOS, Alchemy Catalyst and Passolo to minimize translation costs while maintaining consistent translation for each product. When necessary, we can also provide Certificates of Authenticity.
