Translation vs Localization
Translation Converts Words. Localization Converts Users.
Translating your software means converting the text. Localizing it means making the entire experience feel native: adapting date formats, number separators, currency display, icons, UI conventions, and the cultural frame in which features are presented. A German user expects different affordances from an American user. A Japanese user reads a different visual hierarchy. Getting these details right is the difference between software that users trust and software they abandon.
BeTranslated localizes software for startups, SaaS companies, and enterprise platforms. Our technical translators understand the constraints of UI copywriting: short labels for small buttons, consistent terminology across modules, character limits in mobile interfaces. We work with all major localization file formats and integrate into your development workflow. In markets like France and Canada, language law compliance adds a further layer of requirement that we handle as standard.

Software Localization: Common Questions
Translation focuses on converting text between languages. Localization adapts the entire user experience, including date and number formats, currency, icons, UI conventions, and cultural context, so the software feels native to users in the target market. For software products, localization consistently outperforms simple translation in user adoption and retention.
Machine translation can accelerate the process for high-volume string files, but human review by a native-language software specialist is required. UI copy has strict character limits, requires consistent terminology across modules, and must match the tone and conventions of the target market's software culture. We offer MT with post-editing for cost efficiency on large projects.
German and Spanish text can be 20-30% longer than the equivalent English, which breaks UI layouts if not handled at design stage. We flag expansion risks during translation and work with your development team to adjust string length constraints, truncation rules, and responsive layout behavior.
Yes. We integrate into agile release cycles, handling incremental string updates between sprints. We maintain a project-specific glossary and translation memory so new strings stay consistent with existing localized content. Contact us to discuss your release cadence and we will propose a workflow.
