Ficorp, Inc. specializes in Software globalization and localization, webpage translation and unicode issues.
Localization is the process of adapting a global product for a particular language and country.
Localization includes translations and other conversion, and takes into account local practices and culture, providing a product which is comfortable to use in the target country. Translation is involved in most aspects of localization. Accuracy and appropriateness of translation are key to overall product quality. Retrofitting is an informal term for localizing a product which was not designed to be global. It is the first step taken by most companies entering the global marketplace.
