What languages do you offer for app translation and localization?

Accepted Answer

We offer approximately 80 languages from English. In total we support approximately 200 language pairs within our app localization services.

Question 4

How do you ensure professional app translation?

Accepted Answer

In addition to working with some of the best app translators in the industry, for all our  localization services we use a multi-step process, which includes translation and separate editing. App localization services also follow this approach. In addition to translation & editing, we recommend pre-project processes including glossary/ termbase development, style guide creation and provision of reference materials. All of our projects go through extensive quality assurance. Andovar incorporates Multidimensional Quality Metrics (MQM) in its workflow. MQM enables client stakeholders to attribute greater weight to key aspects of the translationincluding accuracy, fluency, locale, verity and design. Translations pass or fail based on the chosen scoring framework enabling translations that meet defined specifications to be produced consistently.

Question 5

What industries do you support for app translation?

Accepted Answer

Andovar has a large pool of app translation specialists managed by a dedicated resource management team. We have over 5,000 in-country translators skilled across a wide range of industries.

Question 6

How long does it take to deliver a professional app translation?

Accepted Answer

Delivery time is dependent on the volume of words requiring translation and the complexity of the subject matter. Translators can translate approximately 2,500 words of content/day of standard complexity content, while editors can edit approximately 4,000 - 5,000 words/day. Time should also be allocated to pre-project preparation, including glossary/termbase development. A small app translation may take a few days, whereas a large app could take weeks. For large-scale app translation projects, we provide the option of machine translation with human post-editing, which can substantially speed up production while reducing cost.

Question 7

What happens if I am not satisfied with my app translation?

Accepted Answer

If you are not satisfied with your translation, we will make any necessary updates until it meets with your approval. All we would require is some written feedback as to why the translation doesn't meet your expectations in order for our translators and editors to focus on the key parts.

Question 8

How do you manage internationalization aspects?

Accepted Answer

Internationalization readies your app for translation while ensuring that it can be adapted with minimal engineering changes, increasing flexibility and the cost-effectiveness of your project.   Localization readiness review:  Prior to commencing an app translation project, we conduct a full review of the app to ensure there won't be any complications further into the project. Aspects we check for include character support, completeness of extracted text and layout. We achieve this with pseudo-translation.,  Length restrictions:  Different languages expand and others contract when translated. When translating apps for the small screen, care needs to be taken to ensure the right fit for the translation. Andovar's app translation services include technology and QA services to ensure specifications are met.,  Terminology & style guides:  Andovar helps you achieve maximum adoption worldwide with consistent terminology use and tone of voice through terminology management tools built into our translation platform.,  Translation:  Andovar has been providing app translation services since the advent of the app itself. Only the best translators are selected by our resource management team.
