Software, apps, e-learning, packaging and marketing adapted for Canadian French and 300+ languages.
Localization adapts a product or piece of content so it feels as if it was made for the people using it: the language, but also dates, numbers, currency, units, examples, images and tone. Prism Linguistics localizes software, apps, e-learning, packaging and marketing material for Canadian French and 300+ other languages, working in the file formats your team already uses.
Send the files or a description of the project, the target markets and your release date, and you receive a fixed written quote, usually within 60 minutes.
Translation carries the meaning of a text into another language. Localization starts there and adapts everything around it for the market: a date written 03/04 means different days in different countries, decimal separators and currency symbols move, measurements change, and a joke, example or image that works in one market can confuse another.
For Canadian French, that means vocabulary and conventions familiar to readers in Quebec and francophone communities across Canada, rather than text written for readers in France. For products sold in Quebec, product labels, instructions and other commercial content generally need to be in French; check the current requirements of the Charter of the French language for your product.
Content that people use, not only read.
Interface strings, error messages, onboarding flows, help text and release notes.
In-app text, push notifications and app store listings, kept within the space each screen allows.
Course text, quizzes, voice-over scripts and subtitles. See subtitling for video.
Product names, ingredients, instructions and warnings, adapted for the market where the product is sold.
Campaigns, slogans, social posts and brochures, adapted so the message lands in each market.
Pages, metadata, forms and online stores, delivered as files your CMS can import.
Developers and product teams usually work with resource files such as JSON, XLIFF, PO, RESX, Android XML or iOS strings, or with spreadsheets. We translate the text inside them and return the same files with code, keys and placeholders untouched, so they drop back into your build.
Translation, editing and proofreading, adapted for products.
The price of localization depends on the languages, the amount of new text, the file formats and any extra work such as layout or screenshots. You receive a fixed written quote before work starts. For business translation more generally, see business translation.
