Software localization is much more than translating user interfaces from one language to another. It is about adapting all cultural content and technical issues to a specific audience in a given location.
Localization means ensuring that your software "speaks" the language of your customers. In a world of globalization, localization can make the difference between success and failure in your target markets. However, as the business environment becomes increasingly competitive, the challenge of adapting software, documentation, online help, web pages and manuals to conform to the cultural, linguistic and regulatory needs of each customer becomes formidable.
Users of computer software expect their software to be written in their own language. Although localization services come at a cost to software developers, it also yields concrete benefits: Besides the immediate benefit of higher worldwide sales, proper localization can also reduce expenses. Users who understand a product fully are more skilled in managing it, more efficient in using it and less likely to make costly mistakes and utilize costly support resources. These are all issues that affect the bottom line. The more skilled and efficient the users, the lower the burden on customer support and services.

Typical Localization Issues
When localizing software products to multiple languages, many details must be attended to:- Are messages presented in the user's own language?
- Are input fields formatted as is customary in the specific country (names, addresses, dates, and other data)?
- Do keyboard characters act as expected when input is required?
- Do error messages in the local language ensure quick resolution?
