This ensures your product is completely double-byte enabled. Software Localization SDL was established by professionals with extensive experience of the localization of software, and the company has built an enviable track record with both large and small software publishers. We not only translate and adapt the software content, but rebuild, test and fix the localized product, and generally ensure that it appears as if it were originally written in the target languages. The production of multimedia brings together the disciplines of traditional software development and the skills of the film industry. As well as producers, actors, directors, designers, researchers, graphic artists, animators, sound and software engineers, musicians, and video engineers, multimedia localization also requires linguistic and cultural expertise, script translators and dubbing specialists.
Localization makes a product local to the user.
Language, humor, jargon, slang, images, gestures, people, sounds, fashion, religion, values, symbols, animals, history, education, law, political correctness and more can vary between countries and cultures. Getting multimedia localization right can be complex and requires a mix of skills. SDL has relationships with a wide range of talent agencies as well as its own network of native-speaking actors who also understand how to do multimedia work. Most importantly, SDL has its own in-house recording studios as well as relationships with studios in other European countries. Both software and multimedia titles have associated documentation, packaging and marketing collaterals.
