What Is
What is software localization?
Software localization is the translation and adaptation of a software or web product, including the software itself and all related product documentation, to the linguistic, cultural, and technical requirements of a target market.
Our software localizers often carry out this labor-intensive and time-consuming process in parallel with product development. This is because our clients frequently require that all language versions be available by the time their product or website is released.
Solutions and tools in software translation
A skilled translator can handle software localization challenges with the support of specialized tools. While these tools cannot significantly change layouts, they help determine context—an essential factor in avoiding misunderstandings during translation.
Translators must also manage strict text length limits. They use abbreviations, adjust sentence structures, and remove unnecessary filler words to fit content into limited space without losing meaning.
For software localization, tools like SDL Passolo are used to extract text from source files, enable translation, and generate the final localized version.

Software localization is the process of translating and adapting software, apps or websites to meet the linguistic, cultural, technical and legal requirements of a specific target market.
Unlike standard translation, software localization includes adapting formats (such as date, time and currency), interface constraints, cultural elements and legal requirements to ensure the product feels native to the target market.
Software localization covers user interfaces, error messages, menus, help content, product documentation, websites and any related digital content.
GFT uses experienced specialist translators, advanced localization tools and structured project management to ensure accuracy, consistency and alignment with technical and cultural requirements.
