Providing the best in professional translation services

Globalisation and the increasing need to respect customers' language and culture has ensured that there is a large and growing market for localization into English. To survive in the vast English-speaking market, customers must adapt their foreign-language software to the specifics of their target market. Localization is the process of adapting software and all of its support material to the language and culture of this target market. Typically, this includes:

• Software
• Online Help
• Training material
• Sales support material
• Marketing and communications material

Apart from localizing foreign-language software into English, we have noted a growing need on the part of our customers to access business-critical information written in a language other than English:

• Financial reports
• R& D material
• Market research material
• Sales support material
• Business-critical internal communications

In response to the growing demand on the part of our clients to provide independent review services, Nova uses "in country" subject matter experts to provide objective feedback on translations performed by other language specialists. This independent review service covers all aspects of the quality matrix, from checking translation accuracy, terminology consistency and adherence to client-specific instructions, to ensuring that the final translation reflects the appropriate style, register and message of the original content.

Good terminology management is key to any quality-driven translation process. It is also plays an integral role in ensuring consistent branding across all aspects of your corporate identity. From reviewing existing terminology databases, researching and compiling sector-specific glossaries, preparing and managing customer-specific style guides, Nova can help create the building blocks you need to ensure consistency right across your translated content.

When dealing with foreign markets, your website is often your first point of contact with potential customers. So it's important that you speak your customers' language. People will not buy from you if they do not understand what you are selling. By translating and adapting your website to the language and culture of the local market, you multiply your chances of winning new customers.

As certified AdWords professionals, Nova can also help you adapt your online marketing campaigns to your specific target market. Covering areas such as effective keyword management, geo-targeting and local hosting considerations, we can help you drive traffic to your localized website.
