Localization
Localization is the process of adapting content to a target language in a way that reflects the cultural norms, traditions, social context, and linguistic conventions of the target country.
Contrary to common belief, localization is not simply a component of translation but a specialized discipline in its own right. It is most commonly applied to websites and software. Localization enables international companies to adapt their products to the linguistic and cultural expectations of each market, making those products more accessible, relevant, and appealing to the target audience.
By eliminating cultural, conceptual, and terminological differences between markets, localization allows a global product to be perceived as local. It is one of the most valuable tools for global and growth-oriented economies. Behind every product that is developed and successfully sold across borders lies a carefully executed localization process.
In markets where a localized alternative exists, a product that has not been localized has little chance of success. A well-localized product creates the impression that the product or service was developed or produced locally, regardless of its actual origin.
For example, when Chevrolet introduced a new model called “Nova” to the South American market, sales were unexpectedly low. Subsequent research revealed that consumers did not trust the name, as “no va” in Spanish means “doesn’t go.” As a result, the vehicle was reintroduced under a different name.
Why Localization Matters
Every market worldwide represents an opportunity for companies to expand their customer base and increase sales with relatively modest additional investment. Whether viewed as a legal requirement or a strategic growth decision, a localized interface is no longer optional—it is a fundamental requirement in today’s global marketplace.
