Software Localization 

Software localization is the translation and adaptation of the user interface of a software application. It’s crucial that any translation of your software is natural, concise, and accurately communicates the intended functionality, especially for developers and tech-savvy end-users.

How are We Different?

Deep focus

Unlike a typical translation agency or language service provider (LSP), LAI is uniquely focused on translating technical content in specific domains for developers and tech-savvy end-users. Not only are our linguists and AI models honed for this express purpose, but our project managers are conversant in their respective domains as well.

Subject-matter experts

LAI uses only subject-matter expert linguists in our AI-supported translation workflow, ensuring you have a knowledgeable and skilled team working hands-on with your subject matter – a team that not only understands your content, but knows how to communicate its translation accurately and effectively to your target audience.

Proprietary AI/ML tools

Our proprietary and customizable Language Automation® AI/ML tools that we use throughout our workflow enable us to provide highly-tailored, domain-specific solutions to our clients with a commitment to quality second to none.

Respect for confidentiality

We have the utmost respect for the confidentiality of your content. Over many decades of operation, we’ve established methodologies and proper procedures for handling such content, such as encryption of data and adherence to established protocols.

Inclusivity

Our agile-based workflow extends all the way out to our clients, which means that we consider our clients to be an extension of our team. This allows us to minimize communication bottlenecks and be super-responsive to changes and updates. Our focus is on creating value by always exceeding your expectations and earning your trust to become a valued member of your team.

LAI’s decades of experience in the technical translation industry is a testament to our success and can be yours as well.

Feel free to reach out to us with your requirements. We’d be delighted to offer ideas and propose a solution that exceeds your expectations.

Our Technical Translation Process

1

Initial Assessment and Consultation

A meeting is set up with our team to ensure we fully understand your cost, quality and schedule requirements. We’ll agree on the workflow steps, the AI model(s) and methodology to be used, and the agile touch points needed. We’ll walk through the workflow, assuring every step is understood, making changes as appropriate to ensure that we meet or exceed all of your requirements.

2

Creation of the Project Architecture

With the project requirements firmly in mind, we’ll marshal the necessary resources to confidently accomplish the project. This includes selecting the tools and technologies needed to execute the workflow, as well as assembling our team of subject-matter experts.

The team assigned to your project will have the necessary expertise to understand your content and render it confidently in the target language(s).

Finally, we’ll assign a dedicated project manager conversant in your subject domain, and make sure all team members are up to speed on the project requirements.

3

Creation of Project Resources

Next, we’ll leverage our AI tools to create the resources needed to execute the project. This typically includes the project glossary, bilingual translation memories and other relevant content sources.

Delivering technical translations not only requires that the content be accurately conveyed and understandable for your target audience, but that specific industry terms and concepts be correctly and consistently rendered as well. We ensure consistent, accurate results through unified terminology management across all content in your project.

4

Optimization of AI Models

In this step, we configure and augment existing AI models for your content. This typically includes a variety of techniques such as fine-tuning and RAG to achieve the highest quality result.

5

Preprocessing and Translation

Next, we preprocess the content before translation so we can more effectively use our internal QA tools and achieve better coverage. Then, we’ll use our optimized and custom-tuned AI systems to translate the content.

6

Review, Editing and Quality Assurance

Our subject-matter expert linguists review the translation and ensure that it is rendered accurately and understandably for the developers and technical end-users who are consuming the content. Our automated QA tools are used as an integral part of the workflow to ensure a high degree of compliance and terminological consistency in the final translation.

7

Finalization and Delivery

With the final review and sign-off complete, your completed translation will be postprocessed and made available to you in your required format. At LAI, we pride ourselves on meeting deadlines with exceptional results that meet or exceed all of your requirements.

Respect for Confidentiality

As a result, we have rigorous procedures in place for the secure handling, conveyance and storage of confidential materials.  Furthermore, our machine translation and linguistic AI systems are fully compliant with GDPR and ISO 27001, offering the highest level of data protection and security. We also offer on-prem only solutions as well, if you require even higher levels of security.
