Localization involves translating a website<\/a>, app or software for different regions. Not only do you need to handle the translation, but you also need to store all this text somewhere. Don\u2019t forget, online content includes whole pages, but also small snippets of text called strings or translation keys (ex: \u201cLearn more\u201d or \u201cInstant quote\u201d buttons).<\/p>\n

You could try to manage all this by copy\/pasting to and from your site into a spreadsheet, but you\u2019ll want to jump off a bridge after a few days of that.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019ve recently partnered with Transifex, a cloud-based localization platform<\/a> that manages website, software and app translations.<\/p>\n

To put it simply, Transifex helps developers get the ball rolling on translation as part of the process, instead of waiting until the very end. Not only does this save time<\/b>, but it also lets you catch potential problems<\/b> before they happen.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What to watch out for<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For example, some languages have extremely long words, which can pose formatting issues<\/b>. The German word for speed limit is Geschwindigkeitsbeschr\u00e4nkungen<\/i>, and it\u2019s better to find that out sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What\u2019s in it for you?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This partnership means that it\u2019s easier than ever for you to get professional-level translation<\/a> by integrating it directly into your workflow<\/b>.<\/p>\n
