Software translation services

Question

I am in the process of translating an application into various languages, and I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with any translation services, and I'm not talking about Google Translate. :) Are there any that specialize more in the tech area, as opposed to just general translation?

Answer 1

I'm heavily involved in our translation process and tools, but even for me, the people who translate the text are just the "translators". I don't know any specific company and it changes for each product, sometimes even depending on the language or new releases.

Your best bet would be to scout the translation services offered to you and question them wether they specialize in technical translations.

Answer 2

There are many companies that specialize in localizing software. The biggest ones are Lionbridge and SDL International, but there are many small ones as well.

Answer 3

I used to work for a company called OmniLingua, and they provided all sorts of technical services. They basically managed the relationships with the translators in the particular country, and and depending on the industry would use different translation companies. Give them a try, they have a personal touch and are focused heavily on quality.

Answer 4

Proz is probably the best place to start shopping for translators. It's kind of StackOverflow for translators. Kinda.

If you need a translator English <--> German, I strongly recommend John Jory. The guy does an outstanding work at a very good price.

Are you also looking for a tool to manage your translations? Depending on the technology used in your app, appTranslator may be the one you're looking for. Disclaimer: I'm the author of appTranslator ;-)

HTH,
