Website & Software Localization
Interface strings and product content localized in context — not word-by-word — so your UI still fits and still reads naturally.
from $0.14/word · $500 project minimum
What it is
Literal, string-by-string translation breaks interfaces — button labels run long, tone shifts mid-flow, and context gets lost when a string is translated in isolation from the screen it lives on. Localization means translating strings in context, with length constraints and tone in mind, and adapting marketing copy rather than converting it word for word.
Who it's for
- Product managers taking a web app or product UI into a new language market.
- Marketing teams localizing a site or campaign, not just translating it.
- Founders and small teams preparing a product for a non-English-speaking market.
Documents & content we handle
Interface strings, marketing copy, product descriptions, onboarding flows, and legal/policy summaries — reviewed in the context of the screen or page they appear on, not as a flat spreadsheet of isolated phrases.
What's included
- Translation in context — with length constraints and screen context considered, not just the raw string
- Tone adaptation for marketing and product copy, not literal conversion
- A project glossary for product/brand terminology, held consistently across the project
- Review by a second linguist before delivery

How it works for this service
Every project starts with a short review of your file set and string length before we quote a final delivery date. As a guide, translation runs 1,500–2,000 words per business day, plus a review pass for context and length.
Context first
- Context-first framing — strings are translated with their screen, not in isolation.
- A project glossary for product and brand terminology.
- Project-based engagement model — a per-word rate with a $500 floor, not a vague quote.
