Web-Site Translation

Arts & Letters is perfectly positioned with both experience and expertise to assist you in making your web site a multilingual tool connecting you to an increasing volume of business being conducted over the Internet. 

Web site translation has become as much a requirement as having a web site for those companies that want to offer their products and services across the globe.  

From a simple web page that has been translated, to online catalogs with complete product descriptions, all the way to full service ordering and product searches in the foreign language, web site translation can literally bring a small local company to the same level of sales opportunities as a Fortune 500 company.

Software Localization

At Arts & Letters we not only translate the language used in software programs; we also take the programming code to a local level.  Software localization is the process of adapting software, a global product, for a specific country or region.  This process involves modifying the software product to match the local language, dialect, cultural context, regulatory and market requirements. 

Localization takes into account local practices and culture, providing a product that allows the target user to interact comfortably with the software on all levels in his own language.  This entails translation and resizing of all screens, on-line help and other visible text strings as well as user documentation.  In cases where special local regulatory requirements apply to software products, it is also important to implement measures to modify the product, including the actual content of certain applications, to maintain compliance with local laws and regulations.
