Localization for Software and Technology Companies
Software applications are a key component of our daily digital interactions. To provide a proper user experience for customers around the world, software companies require speedy and accurate localization of their content. Fast-paced schedules for updates and new releases mean that efficiency is not a commodity but rather a strategic must.
With a translation management system (TMS), software companies are able to meet their goals thanks to robust integrations with content repositories, a wide range of machine-translation engines supported, and native capabilities that enable the standardization of tools and processes. In an industry where time is of the essence, fast localization cannot happen without a TMS.

Best Practices For Software Localization
Frequently Asked Questions
Localization is adapting content to suit specific languages, cultures, and regions. Software localization is key for companies because it expands their global reach by enhancing global user experiences, and boosts sales by making products accessible and relatable to diverse audiences, fostering brand loyalty and competitiveness in international markets.
Software localization accelerates product launches and updates by ensuring timely translations, cultural relevance, and compliance with local regulations, enabling software companies to reach wider audiences and maintain consistent user experiences.
A TMS, like XTM Cloud, integrates with content-authoring tools, streamlines workflows, and ensures that updates can be made on the fly, ensuring that software companies can launch products a lot faster and make content updates to them if needed on the fly. This way, localized content is always up-to-date in all markets without any delay.
Vendor neutrality allows software companies to select the best suppliers for each job and to have all teams working on the same platform, removing legacy tools for increased efficiency, consistency and, ultimately, quality.
Integrating a TMS with your Git repository automates the workflow, allowing users to manage projects within the familiar repository interface. Once translated content is ready, it’s automatically imported back for a more streamlined software localization workflow, saving time and effort.
