eSIM providers

We provide translation services in 100+ languages, including not just the widely spoken ones like English, Chinese, Japanese, German, French, and Spanish, but also rare languages and dialects.

We can find a translator in almost any language that you need. Sometimes, localizing into niche languages can offer better prospects than localizing into mainstream languages.

To determine the most promising languages for translation, we've examined the number of native speakers who are Internet users, the total volume of online sales, and Google Play revenue by region. Based on this analysis, here are the top 10 languages for localization:

• English for the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia
• Chinese for China and Taiwan (Simplified and Traditional Chinese)
• Japanese for Japan
• French for France, Canada, and Belgium
• German for Germany, Belgium, Austria and Switzerland
• Russian for Russia
• Korean for South Korea
• Spanish for Spain, Mexico, and Argentina
• Portuguese for Brazil

Additionally, we conduct annual in-house research on the most popular languages for localization from English. To access the 2023 report, follow the link to download the white paper.

Keep in mind that the choice of languages depends significantly on your product type and business objectives. For example, localization into niche languages can sometimes offer better marketing prospects than mainstream locales. So, always keep your product in mind.

The translation cost depends on a few factors: the language pair (source and target), text volume, and repetitions.

For the pay-as-you go model, the translation cost is calculated per 1000 characters, spaces included. HTML element tags aren't counted when assessing the text volume.

No subscriptions here – you pay as you go for the precise amount of work completed. Check out our list of languages and rates. These are approximate rates that might slightly vary depending on additional factors. For a localization cost estimate, kindly send your text to info@alconost.com or fill out this form.

At Alconost, all translations are carried out by professional linguists who are native speakers of your target language.

We have a pool of over 800 carefully selected native-speaking linguists, each with specialized industry knowledge. Every translator in our database undergoes rigorous preliminary testing, including portfolio review, and a translation test. Around 2.5% of applicants pass the selection process and proceed to work at Alconost.

For each project, we handpick translators with specialization in the required domain. Our localization managers consider the training and professional background of translators to ensure the best match between project needs and the translator's qualifications. This approach enables Alconost to deliver accurate translations across a spectrum of projects, from promotional websites, travel landing pages, and online stores to corporate websites for multinational companies.

We typically assign one or more translators to your project, maintaining a consistent working relationship with them. This is beneficial if you have large projects with periodic updates, or if you simply prefer a specific translator's style. In the rare event of a translator change, we provide the glossary and translation memory to the new translator, ensuring consistency in terminology and style for future updates.

Our translators are well-versed in various design languages, technologies, and platforms. Whether it's translating a mobile app, a Wix or WordPress site or providing continuous website content translation for Magento, Shopify, Salesforce, and other eCommerce projects, translators on your project will be familiar with the platform requirements.

Localization project managers are assigned to guide you through every step of the translation process, from start to finish.

Here's what they do:

1. Review the texts, your requirements, and any notes about the translation.
2. Calculate the cost of the localization project and approve a budget with you.
3. Handpick translators with the necessary background.
4. Ensure the correct formatting of the finalized translations.
5. Drive project deadlines.
6. Assign editors to proofread the translations (optional).
7. Draft all required documentation (agreements, invoices, certificates, etc.).
8. Answer all your questions and do everything to ensure you are satisfied with both the process and the result!

Our localization project managers can assist you in choosing the best approach for localizing your eSIM marketplace, whether through translation within source files, your CMS, or a cloud-based localization platform. Your chosen method will determine how you receive the translated content:

• If you provide texts as formatted files (HTML, .string, .json, or other formats), you'll receive the translated texts back in the same format.
• If you give the translation team access to your CMS, our translators will work online directly within your content management system.
• If we localize your website using a project management platform (GitLocalize, Phrase, Lokalise, Memsource, Memoq, Smartcat, Webtranslateit, Transifex, OneSky, POEditor, Trados, or a similar service), the finished translations will be available on this platform. You can then manually or automatically publish them on your website through an API. This platform-based translation is ideal for multilingual or frequently updated products requiring continuous localization.

Once the localization process is established and refined, translations can be seamlessly updated automatically as you edit existing content or add new material to the primary language version of your product (i.e., continuous localization). This approach allows localization and development to progress simultaneously, reducing the time-to-market for your updates.

Our approach allows for collaboration with multiple vendors, providing you with added flexibility and scalability and broadening the capabilities and specializations of your language resources.

As an enhancement to your current localization workflow, we can provide localization consulting, broad support of formats, fast delivery times, and a team of over 800 translators, localization managers, and vendor managers ready to meet all your translation needs.

We offer sustainable, quality-compliant business translation services for global organizations. Whether you require translations for marketing materials, websites, presentations, business documents, or any other content, we're here to assist:
