Localisation
London Translations are experts in localisation. Our highly experienced team of translators can seamlessly translate 140 of the world’s languages and then localise those translations for audiences in specific locations.
We have worked with start-ups, growing small businesses and multinational organisations to create localised translations of websites, marketing materials, video content and much more. Our localisation services are so reliable that our clients come back repeatedly with new projects and additional languages for us to translate into.
It’s easy to directly translate from one language to another, though if you’ve used Google Translate you know that the results can be very poor. This is because direct translation doesn’t include contextual clues, implied meaning and cultural differences that make every language unique. For example, we all have our own idioms, like “nest egg” or “cold feet” which might make sense to English speakers but not Japanese speakers. Understanding these differences and being able to apply them to translated language is localisation. London Translations are specialists in creating localised translations for personal and business use, with our linguist selection process based on the quality standards of ISO 9001:2008.
Depending on the materials that you need localisation services for, there will be additional factors to consider. Localised translations will be culturally and linguistically tied to the language and the country that you are targeting, but it will also be created with an awareness of the medium. Gaming, website and document or instruction manual requirements, for example, will require different approaches, and this tailoring all falls under the localisation service that we provide.

Localisation Services
We offer a range of localisation services including, but not limited to, website, software and app localisation. Each of these can be provided with localisation in multiple languages if need be. You may wish to integrate various languages for countries where there is more than one official language or create unique translations of copy for each language. Whatever you decide, we can provide.
Website Localisation
Websites are often seen as the shop window of a brand. They’re also the first place a customer may come across your business, so it’s vital you make first impressions count. Our localised translations are created with an awareness of your website’s design, with linguistic choices that stand out in titles and banners. Website localisation can be completed across a single domain, in different versions of the same website or in certain parts of your website. Whether you have unique copy to translate for each language that you want localised or have a translated version that needs additional localisation, London Translations can help you.
Software Localisation
If you are making your software available to an international market for the first time or are hoping to expand your user reach by tapping into a new country and market, then you need software localisation. Every piece of software includes copy, whether in notifications, calls-to-action, instructions or as part of its use and functionality. Ensuring that those messages are tailored to the audience, rather than as direct translations which may obscure their function, will help users to integrate with your software and greatly increase the usability of the product.
App Localisation
As daily mobile use increases, more businesses are creating apps to improve customer experience. App localisation focuses on the key takeaways that are needed for website and software localisation, namely translation of notifications, navigation, copy and metrics such as cost and time. Applications are often created with the goal of making it easier for users to shop or interact with your business, but if you forget localisation when translating into a new language, you may unwittingly make it harder. Use localisation to make your app quick to use and easy to understand.

Thank you for your excellent work in translating our marketing presentations from English to Thai, German, Dutch and Norwegian. We were very impressed with the level of personal service we received and your company’s commitment to meeting our deadlines even though we made several last minute additions and changes to the texts.
My client needed this document translated as soon as possible and your company delivered it far sooner than I or he expected. In a world where great customer service has become a thing of the past, it’s refreshing to see a company who still strives to be great. I cannot commend you and your company enough for the excellent work done.
