What is localization?

To localize a web service or product means to adapt it to the linguistic and cultural variables of the local market in which it will be sold and used. At Beluga, this task is realised by means of local experts who are ready to adapt themselves to innovative projects, using work systems which have all the dynamism of web services.

What is linguistic management?

The localization of a product, service or content is a complex process. It requires:

Does my business need specialised linguistic services?

If your web services business is already under way and is expanding into international markets, content localization will be essential if you are to increase the number of potential users. This content must be published at the right time, with consistent quality in all languages, and following processes which make it possible to check and control the outcome. Costs must also be clearly defined. You will need a partner that can provide a complete linguistic service, integrating it in a transparent manner into your value chain.

How can I obtain a review of my linguistic needs?

First we need to establish the aims of the localization: To supply information? To increase trading volume? Next, the target markets and working languages need to be defined. In partnership with your Development and Content Department, Beluga Linguistics will analyse what elements need to be localized, the technical requirements, and the workflows which integrate best with your own processes. The goal is to gain a clear vision of what is needed, to see how solutions can be implemented incrementally, and to calculate the costs involved.

How do I request an estimate for a specific project?

You can send us a description of your project and/or the materials which require linguistic processing to our email address. The Beluga team will respond to your request as soon as possible.

How much do these services cost?

The services we offer are very varied. For that reason, our rates are defined according to your requirements and the options that you wish to include in your localisation project. For complex or long-tem projects, you will receive a monthly statistical breakdown to make financial control simpler.

How does Beluga Linguistics work?

As far as infrastructure is concerned, Beluga Linguistics has its own solution for the specialist management of linguistic projects. It uses a collaborative application via the Internet which is well tried and flexible, and which helps to automate and manage workflow, human resources and finances.

As for our working methods, we have opted for a decentralised, virtual organisation, in which our processes are continually being improved, and where knowledge is treated as a public asset.

How do our collaborators work?

Our collaborators live and work in local markets and are experts in their specialised fields. Each client works with a dedicated and stable team of professionals. Beluga emphasises continuous learning and the establishment of trusting, transparent relationships with all the people taking part in a project. We know that professional success is important, but personal development is equally so.
