Frequently Asked Questions

Simple Language is thoroughly dedicated and qualified to manage your globalization and localization needs. Below are Frequently Asked Questions about our services and methodologies.

What is Globalization?
Globalization encompasses all activities involved with creating content and systems for a multi-lingual marketplace. A company's failure to adequately address globalization can have negative consequences ranging from misunderstood messages to market alienation to missed opportunities arising from the inability to quickly localize a product.

What is Localization?
The localization of a product, Web site or document entails adapting the object to a specific language and country. This involves culturally appropriate translation and other conversion processes, particularly as they pertain to localizing software and technology products.

What Type of Companies Should Use Simple Language's Globalization and Localization Services?
Any company that is developing, maintaining or expanding an international sales force, client base or vendor team should contact Simple Language about our globalization and localization services.
