Localization

Afford Translations and Interpreting Ltd. has been providing high-quality translations since 2004 at favorable prices for business, technical, medical, and private purposes to corporations, organizations, international language service providers, and individuals. As well as an excellent value for the money, the office is characterized by experienced translators and interpreters, appropriate technical background supporting translation, and customer focus.

Localization / Localizing / Multilingual text localization / Software localization

During localization, source-language content is adapted to a target-language environment. This is necessary for the target-language recipient to understand the original message, despite cultural differences. The simplest example of this is when one converts units of measurement, for example from kilometers to miles.

Localization is most often associated with the translation of computer programs and applications (software localization) or websites (web localization), however, it covers a much wider area. The most typical examples are the following:

  • Software localization
  • Web localization
  • Localization of content published on user interfaces
  • Localization of instruction manuals, specifications, helps, glove-box literature
  • Multimedia content localization
  • Localization of marketing, sales promotion, creative translation

The translation may be carried out into one language only, but multilingual localization is more common. Larger localization projects are typically technology-intensive. We work with an international translator team and computer-assisted translation tools (CAT tools). We also take advantage of the so-called version tracking provided by CAT tools, with the help of which work may be carried out faster and less expensively, as in the case of changed or updated contents, we need only to work on the modified text parts.

The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Central Europe, has had a contractual relationship with Afford since 2009. Generally, we request the translation of complicated legal texts, often with very short deadlines. We always get quality work that holds our long-standing working relationship together. We especially appreciate the high degree of flexibility, customer orientation and personalized, custom administration, as well as the confidential treatment of materials sent. It is important that we can always count on Afford. Moreover, Afford is open to criticism and suggestions for improvement, and requests these, because they are progress-oriented.

For many years now, whenever we hit a capacity bottleneck, espell has turned to Afford's services. As a budget translation company specifically geared to meet MLV needs, they are reliable and easy to work with (a combination rarely found among the multitude of SLV's). What makes them a favourite of our project managers is that they know Afford's staff understand exactly what we want and what we want to avoid. To this day, after jointly implementing over a hundred projects, they have never failed us.

We only work with qualified, reliable suppliers and strive for long-term partnerships to keep our purpose. We have been cooperating with Afford for 5 years now, we regularly order translations.
As our commercial, networking and knowledge transfer activities become more intense across Europe, we are already translating our leaflets into German and English from 16 different languages (such as Portuguese, Dutch and Lithuanian) with the Afford team.

Our goal is to work with a translation agency that can consistently provide good quality, paying attention to the correct use of pharmaceutical terminology that is very important to us. They have never disappointed us before!
