Even as digital technology is taking over the world, there is still a demand for printed products. Business cards, booklets, brochures and other printed marketing materials remain among the most effective means of presenting and promoting a business. That is why ideas, design and creating layouts for these materials should be entrusted to real professionals.
In today’s global economy, businesses are expanding their reach beyond their domestic borders. To succeed in foreign markets, it is essential to provide products and services that resonate with local customers. This is where localisation – the process of adapting content, products, and services to meet the cultural, linguistic, and other requirements of a particular market – comes into play.
When IBM announced the release of the VisualAge environment back in 1993, it actually proclaimed a new era in programming. By the end of that era, programmers would no longer be regarded as weird people who think in cryptic categories and do unintelligible things. Like the guy in the picture.

“How do I find the right language service provider for my company?” Are you the decision-maker for organizing translations in your company, and are you faced with the task of optimizing external resources? Are the translation volumes and the number of required language pairs increasing? Is the requirements profile becoming more and more diverse? In addition to translations, do you need interpreters, video localization, or proofreading of translated texts for quality assurance? Then it really makes sense to rethink and reorganize the language services for your company. There are many ways to find a new service provider, one of which is through a call for tenders.

Any new product intended for a wider audience than just local users should be translated into certain languages of regional markets. PC games are no exception, and their localization must adhere to a range of rules. Along with accuracy, their translation also requires end-to-end adaptation and fluency as perceived by native speakers of the target language. Additionally, hard character limits may be imposed on individual text segments to ensure that their translation fits within assigned margins, is correctly broken into lines, and more. It is also essential to check the entire translated text directly in the game to ensure it is appropriately placed in the context of specific situations and gameplay elements. This is the multifaceted work that Janus Worldwide’s Game Localization Department handles.
