Unlock Global Markets with Expert Localization From The Language Doctors
The Language Doctors (TLD) localization service transforms your website and app content into culturally resonant experiences. While translation covers language, localization delves deeper, modifying content to align with local customs, values, and market-specific nuances. This holistic approach ensures every aspect of your service—from text to multimedia and design elements—feels native to each audience.
Why Localization Matters: Engaging a Global Audience
As a professional localization service provider, we believe your online presence is a global handshake. By localizing your content, you speak the language of your target markets while echoing their cultural heartbeat. This strategic alignment increases engagement, fosters trust, and builds meaningful connections with audiences worldwide.
Localization makes your users feel valued and understood, which is crucial in transforming interest into loyalty and driving successful market expansion.
Website and app localization
Here are four critical elements you must consider for app and website localization:
Reading Direction
Localizing the reading direction of your website or app is crucial for markets with languages that flow right-to-left, such as Arabic and Hebrew, or top-to-bottom in some East Asian languages. This adaptation ensures the layout feels intuitive and natural to the user, maintaining a seamless and user-friendly experience that aligns with local reading habits.
Currency
Adapting currency formats is essential for accurate price displays and enhancing trust and ease of transaction among local users. Currency localization includes converting prices into local currencies, using familiar numerical formats, correct symbol placement, and adjusting decimal and thousand separators to meet regional standards.
Button Placement
The placement of interactive elements like buttons must consider the target market’s cultural norms and user interface expectations. For example, we might position buttons based on how the culture typically processes information—whether left-to-right or right-to-left—ensuring that calls-to-action and navigation buttons are positioned where users expect them to be, thus enhancing usability and response rates.
Dates and Times
Localizing dates and times include translating numbers and adjusting to local formats, the order of day, month, and year, and the clock format (12-hour vs. 24-hour). This date localization helps prevent misunderstandings in scheduling, deadlines, and promotions, ensuring that your app or website aligns with the temporal context of your users to enhance reliability and clarity. For example, Chinese website translation requires changing the date format from MM/DD/YYYY to YYYY/MM/DD and using the 24-hour clock instead of the 12-hour clock to meet local conventions.
