Best when the software text mainly needs language conversion.
This can suit simple help pages, internal user guides, static content and lower-complexity product copy where layout, context and user flow are not heavily affected.

More than changing words
Software localisation is built around the product experience.
Software translation converts text into another language. Software localisation goes further by considering interface context, terminology, character length, structured content and the way users interact with the product.
Best when users need to interact with the product naturally.
This is the stronger route for SaaS interfaces, dashboards, settings, onboarding flows, buttons, forms, alerts, tooltips, product terminology and in-product help.
What we localise
Everything users read, click and depend on inside your software.
Localisation can cover both the visible interface and the supporting product content that affects usability, onboarding, support and consistency.
User interface strings
Buttons, menus, labels, dashboard text, settings, tooltips, placeholders, modals, alerts and in-product messages.
SaaS and web product content
Dashboard screens, account areas, onboarding flows, checkout paths, profile sections and product-led content.
Error and validation messages
Form errors, system messages, confirmation notices, empty states, warnings and recovery instructions.
Help centres and documentation
Knowledge-base articles, FAQs, user guides, release notes, setup instructions and support content.
Technical files and string exports
JSON, XML, CSV, Excel, XLIFF, resource files, string tables and structured key-value exports.
Terminology and product consistency
Feature names, recurring labels, glossary rules, preferred wording, tone guidance and previous translations.
Developer-friendly delivery
Protect the technical content while localising the user-facing text.
Send string files, exports, screenshots or product copy in the format that suits your project. We can review the structure and confirm the right localisation route before work begins.
Keys and technical structure
Structured files can be handled while non-translatable keys,
tags and file organisation remain intact where required.
Product terminology
Share glossaries, feature names, preferred wording and existing
translations to support consistency.
Length-sensitive interface copy
Tell us where space is limited so interface wording can be reviewed
with buttons, menus and other UI constraints in mind.
Review options
QA and specialist review options are available for projects that
need additional terminology and context checks.

File formats
Software localisation for structured files and content exports.
The workflow can be adapted to the format your product team already uses. Send the files together with any notes about context, placeholders or non-translatable content.
JSON and XML
Work with structured strings while preserving keys, tags and file structure. Translatable text can be localised while technical elements remain unchanged where required.
CSV and Excel
Spreadsheet-based string exports can keep source text, target text, context notes, IDs and terminology organised for review and delivery.
XLIFF and resource files
Structured localisation exports can be reviewed so translatable segments, tags and technical content are handled in the agreed format.
Screenshots and product copy
Screens, copied UI text, help content and product documentation can provide additional context when a full string export is not available.

{
"nav.dashboard": "Tableau de bord",
"nav.settings": "Paramètres",
"button.save": "Enregistrer",
"button.cancel": "Annuler",
"error.required": "Champ obligatoire"
}
Keys stay technical. User-facing values are localised.
What to send us
Give the linguist the context your users already have.
A string alone can be ambiguous. Extra context helps clarify where the text appears, how much space is available and which product terms must stay consistent.
Source files or product copy
Strings, exports, spreadsheets, help content or screen copy.
Target language or languages
Tell us which market or language version you need.
Deadline and delivery format
Include the date and how you need the final content returned.
Screenshots or interface context
Useful for labels, buttons, menus, errors and short strings.
Glossary and terminology
Share approved feature names, tone guidance and previous translations.
Technical notes
Flag placeholders, character limits or text that must not be translated.

Common questions
Software localisation FAQs
What is software localisation?
Software localisation is the process of adapting software content for another language and market. It can include UI strings, buttons, menus, forms, error messages, onboarding screens, help content, documentation and technical string files.
How is software localisation different from software translation?
Software translation focuses on converting text from one language to another. Localisation goes further by considering interface wording, product terminology, placeholders, character length, technical structure and the context in which the user sees the content.
How much does software localisation cost?
Software localisation starts from £0.08 per word for suitable AI-supported content with human review, from £0.12 per word for human localisation and from £0.16 per word for specialist or QA-focused localisation. Final pricing depends on the language pair, volume, file format, technical complexity and deadline.
Can you work with JSON, XML, CSV, Excel and XLIFF files?
Yes. Structured formats can include JSON, XML, CSV, Excel, XLIFF and resource files. Non-translatable keys, tags, placeholders and structure can be preserved where required.
Can you localise SaaS platforms and web applications?
Yes. The service covers SaaS platforms, web applications, dashboards, onboarding flows, settings screens, notifications, help content and other user-facing software copy.
Do you also localise mobile apps?
Mobile app content can be localised, although projects centred specifically on mobile-app screens and user journeys can use the dedicated app localisation service.
Can you follow our terminology and existing translations?
Yes. You can provide glossaries, feature names, approved terminology, tone guidance, previous translations and preferred UI wording so the project can follow your existing product language.
What do you need to start?
Send the source files or content, target language, deadline and preferred delivery format. Screenshots, interface context, glossary files and notes about placeholders or non-translatable text are also useful.
