Top-quality language localization services

The cost of localization depends on the language pair (the source and target languages) involved, the volume of text, and the number of repetitions.

The cost also reflects the localization method. For example, it costs a little more to translate within your CMS than to translate or localize files through a cloud-based translation platform.

The cost of localization is calculated at a rate per 1000 characters, including spaces. When calculating the volume of text to be translated, we do not include HTML element tags.

To help us calculate the cost of localization, please request a quote with the target languages that you would like to localize your website into.

The cloud-based translation platform Crowdin allows us to manage localization projects in real time. You can:

• Upload string resources in any format (.resx, .po, .strings, etc.) either manually or through the API
• Assign translators and editors
• Track the translation and editing process for your project
• Leave comments and discuss questions directly with the translators and editors
• Create glossaries
• Manage the translation memory
• Export string resources once the translation is complete

We also work on other localization platforms, such as GitLocalize, Phrase, Lokalise, Memsource, memoQ, Smartcat, WebTranslateIt, Transifex, OneSky, POEditor, Trados, and many more.

After we receive an application for your project, we'll immediately assign a manager who will:

• Examine the texts, your requirements, and any notes about the translation
• Calculate the cost of the localization project and approve a budget with you
• Select translators with the required background
• Ensure the correct formatting of the finished translations
• Monitor compliance with the deadlines for completing the project
• Hire editors for the project to proofread the translations (optional)
• Draft all required documentation (agreement, invoice, and certificate)
• Answer your questions and do everything to ensure that you are satisfied with both the localization process and the result.

We translate into more than 100 languages, including the most popular (English, Chinese, Japanese, German, French, Spanish), and rarer ones, and even dialects. You can view the list of languages and translation rates here.

We can find a translator in almost any language that the client needs, depending on his product and goals. Sometimes localization into niche languages can offer better prospects than localization into mainstream languages.

In case some rare language is not on the list, we can help with searching and recruiting linguists.
