EXPERIENCE We have been providing software localisation services since 1994. Localisation is much more than simple translation. It is a process of adjusting the language of the product or service software to the expectations of the customer or end users. Each localisation project requires that our Company ensures the involvement of a team of specialists and the close collaboration between them.
COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES Software localisation goes beyond the simple translation of the software descriptions, messages and functionalities. Localisation also involves the translation of all accompanying materials recorded in any format whatsoever, such as audio or video files, graphic presentations etc. Localisation includes also the translation of the entire software documentation. For the above reason, optimum management of the project is critical.
RESOURCES Localisation requires having extensive technological resources in place to comply with the Customer’s technical requirements. LIDEX continues to update and develop these resources on an ongoing basis. LIDEX offers another advantage: with the availability of teams of experienced translators, IT experts as well as editors and voice actors the entire project can be implemented efficiently and effectively.
