Software localisation
Proverb will help you to successfully establish your software on the global market. The aim is to create a user interface that appears as if it had been developed specifically for the target market. For this localisation, we first adapt the software to the specific requirements (such as dates, paper sizes, or keyboard layouts) and ensure linguistic and technical functionality. Only then do our expert translators start translating documents such as online help, manuals or user instructions.
As a fully equipped technical translation agency, we use the latest tools to adapt menus, function buttons and user interface dialogues to the respective target country, along with the online help files and printed documents. Text lengths can sometimes vary significantly from language to language, which in these cases we adjust the buttons and all other dialogue boxes in the translation correspondingly („resizing“). A user interface that has been localised in this manner then forms the basis for any other related documents.
For successful localisation we consider:
- Sections of text in script files (such as Java or ASP scripts)
- Adaptation of FAQs and help files
- Creating hyperlinks in the target language (corresponding to the source language)
- Display of fonts and special characters in the target language
- Editing and creation of texts integrated into buttons and graphics
- Layout and font display in all major browsers
Interpreting
Then you are safe hands at Proverb: We only employ professional interpreters who are committed and thoroughly prepared for each assignment. Along with the offer, we include a comprehensive needs analysis. In addition, we advise you individually on the assignment, the interpreting techniques (simultaneous, consecutive and liaison interpreting) and on the strength of the team.
On request, we can also provide the complete conference and interpreting equipment and give recommendations on general organisational matters, the supporting programme and any intercultural issues.
Language training
Comprehensive language skills are more important than ever for international success. We collaborate with an international language institute and offer effective foreign language training specifically for businesses. For maximum learning success, each course is individually drawn up and tailored to your company’s specific linguistic and professional requirements.
