Language Localisation.

To understand where we’re headed, it is helpful to consider how we got here. Things used to be a lot different. Success was measured by how “good” the translation was, as defined by its linguistic quality and technical compliance. Localisation was totally divorced from business outcomes.

Understanding what these terms mean can make a significant difference in the quality of your international content.

The definitions:

“Translation” is the process of rendering text from one language into another so that the meaning is equivalent.
“Localisation” is a more comprehensive process and addresses cultural and non-textual components as well as linguistic issues when adapting a product or service for another country or locale.

Localisation involves more than just translation. It includes translation, and addresses other factors such as text length, local idioms, cultural references, measurement units, and date formats.

Fast-forward to 2021
