WHAT IS LOCALIZATION?

Localization is a lot like preparing a gourmet dish

Where every ingredient is carefully selected, every step meticulously executed, and everyone works together to serve up the perfect ‘dish’ on time, with minimal waste.

1. Prepare

Set up teams, tools, processes, projects and tasks.

2. Cook

Code, design, translate, and transcreate.

3. Taste

Double-check content and tweak for local tastes.

4. Serve

Launch multilingual apps, websites, and go-to market content.
