How do localization, globalization and translation differ from one another?
Translation is interpreting the meaning of a text and subsequently producing an equivalent text in a different language.
Localization is the process of modifying an existing text to make it accessible, usable and culturally suitable to a new target audience. Localization goes beyond literal translation, in addition to idiomatic language translation, numerous locale details such as currency, national regulations and holidays, cultural sensitivities, product or service names, gender roles, and geographic examples among many other details must all be considered.
Globalization aims to address all the logistical and organizational challenges businesses encounter as they expand their business content and marketing strategies across cultures to new clients.
Globalization incorporates internationalization and localization to achieve this goal.
I have a text with many repetitions, are my translation costs reduced?
Yes, MO GROUP INTERNATIONAL uses CAT Tools that take repetitions in your text into consideration. Cost reductions are applied based on the number of repetitions and the overall amount of text.
What is a Glossary and do I need it?
Glossaries should be created for every project. A good glossary contains all the terminology that is critical to the contents being translated. Not only will the glossary make the translation more consistent, but it will also speed up the translation process, because translators will not experience delays waiting for clarification of terms that could have been defined in advance.
