Localisation

Localisation from English to Italian and from Spanish to Italian

Some call me a translator, but my clients know that I’m so much more than that.I help people communicate their message , without compromising the integrity of the original message.I achieve results Google Translate can’t, converting more than just words, but raw messages. That’s why you can’t simply ask a bilingual friend to transform your document into another language – because literal translation doesn’t always work.Language is a deeply nuanced form of expression.
As a professional translator and trained linguist, my job is to tell your story to the world, just as you intended, even if it means changing parts to make sense to the target audience.For example, there are many Italian phrases that don’t make sense in English, like “In bocca al lupo” (into the mouth of the wolf), generally used to wish someone good luck.


The response (Crepi il lupo), translated to English, would be “may the wolf die.” Clearly, this would need to be adjusted for the target audience to understand!
This specific translation service is called localisation, a process of cultural adaptation which makes a product, a device or a text accessible to a different audience.
The localisation process generally relates to software, video games, websites, apps, as well as audio/voiceover, video, or other multimedia content.
Let me use my years of experience and passion for expert translation to turn your documents into polished pieces that are accurate, concise, and most importantly, authentic.
