Software Translation Services for All Platforms and Devices
Software localization for both desktop and mobile devices is one of the most difficult but necessary areas in translation. Minecodes is up for the challenge; our network of subject matter experts (SMEs), translators, and engineers will help you with all pre- and post-translation processing in programming in HTML, DHTML, JavaScript, ASP, PHP, C, C++, JSON, C-Sharp, Java, and other machine languages. Localizing digital content and software is a core part of our technology-driven translation identity.
Finally, In-Context Software Localization
Software localization involves translating GUI (graphic user interface) strings into different target languages. Unlike document translation where sentences and paragraphs are translated as they are, software GUI strings are usually stored in separate resource files with ID numbers that lack context information. This means translators don’t see how each string is displayed or used within the software, leading to potential issues with translation accuracy as well as text truncation (due to language expansions like German and Dutch.) Minecodes solves this age-old dilemma with our innovative software localization technology solutions.
With Minecodes, localizing software applications with quality and efficiency is easy. Simply upload the resource files and software screenshots onto our online translation portal, and Minecodes will automatically map each GUI string to the actual screenshot in real time, allowing our linguists to view full context information during translation. This leads to significantly improved linguistic quality and technical accuracy while reducing software localization turnaround time.
Agile development meets just-in-time translation
The software industry is increasingly agile, employing an iterative and incremental approach to application development. As such, frequent updates are inevitable, leading to constant, fragmented translation needs. Minecodes’ just-in-time (JIT) translation model caters perfectly to these continuous translation needs, allowing developers more time to focus on their software and still gain time-to-market advantage.
Our automated online translation platform streamlines the entire video translation workflow by automatically transcribing audio into text, translating it with our professional translators, and then creating subtitles or recording voiceover with our in-country voice talents.
DevOps Translated Continuously
Services
Many software companies are embracing DevOps to shorten application development life cycle while delivering the highest software quality. A major component of DevOps is to achieve continuous delivery in order to reduce time-to-market. When it comes to releasing software products internationally, this means translation services must be provided continuously using an on-demand, automated translation workflow. Minecodes is an undisputed leader in continuous translation solutions. With our cloud-based and always-on translation model, Minecodes helps the world’s leading software companies stay ahead of the competition in global markets.
User Interface Localization
User interface localization is the single most important step for globalizing your software product. Localizing your user interface includes everything from translating text strings to adjusting the layout of your interface to suit each linguistic and cultural context.
Minecodes can make localizing your user interface as easy as pressing a button. We match you up with in-country translators who specialize in localizing your type of software. Minecodes’ built-in terminology management system means that we can ensure translation consistency while minimizing costs. Our translation platform also lets you browse and select translators by subject matter expertise and translation history, so each localized version of your software operates just as smoothly as the original.
Holistic Testing
Minecodes’ mobile translation platform is ideal for localization testing of mobile-centric software. Localization testing ensures that the quality of the localized application matches that of the source product. Once localized, software should be verified on various user platforms to see if the translated versions operate smoothly and the text has been applied correctly.
Minecodes lets its engineers and translators engage in linguistic testing and cosmetic testing. Linguistic testing is a double check of the translated software, systematically verifying each translated line of text for accuracy. Minecodes uses professional in-country translators with subject matter expertise for linguistic testing and verification. Cosmetic testing is also an essential step to ensure the localized software is free of truncation, misalignment and other layout issues. Our localizers have a framework for examining your localized software for common mistakes and ironing out any issues.
