Internationalization and localization of web services
Internationalization is the process of identifying, extracting and preparing those elements of a website which need linguistic and cultural adaptation. It makes the next stage of localization simpler, reduces costs, and speeds the introduction of services and products into new markets.
Linguistic and cultural adaptation of contents
Localization makes it possible to exploit visibility on the Internet to the full, creating a high quality image and establishing solid relationships with your new customers. Beluga works with zone partners who provide the necessary linguistic and cultural knowledge and who ensure success in the creation and localization of web contents.
Localization of the UI
The user interface is the image of your business on the web. The skilful placing of graphical and textual elements helps to turn your website into an effective gateway for doing business and for establishing close contact with customers in other markets. Your user interface strengthens your brand image.
Maintaining your web content and keeping it up to date
Our business is dynamic information: we work with up-to-date formats, we use new methods and technologies, and we make sure that we comply in full with strict web publication timetables. The Internet is the medium of communication used by our clients: we localize your content and multiply its value.
Testing and quality control in all languages
Once your website has been localised, exhaustive functionality tests are needed to make sure that it is usable and effective. Quality control is not limited to the linguistic aspect; it also deals with the design, content distribution, and the examination of the local user's responses.
Confronting the global marketplace
When can we consider a global web service or product to be truly global? Precisely when it is accepted naturally and has acquired a local character. If the idea is good, its localization will be the next phase: bringing the service close to the people who will use it and adapting it to a particular culture and to the specific characteristics of a particular marketplace.
What is the best way to approach people from a different cultural environment? What are the key words which will motivate a potential client on the other side of the world? Providing answers to these questions is Beluga's mission.
