What it is, and who needs it

This service is for interface strings, website copy, app content and CMS exports — not documents. The difference matters: a literal word-for-word rendering of a UI string often reads exactly like what it is, a translation, and that undermines the credibility of the launch it's meant to support. We localise — adapting tone, idiom and even string length for German (or English) readers — and we handle the actual export/import format your CMS or codebase uses, rather than asking you to paste text into a document and back out again.

Frequently asked questions

What file formats can you work with?
JSON, XLIFF, PO/POT, CSV, and most CMS-native export formats — tell us what you export and we'll confirm compatibility before you commit.
What's the setup fee actually for?
Handling your specific file format, building the glossary/terminology base for your product, and testing the re-import — it's a one-time cost, not a recurring one.
Can you handle ongoing releases, not just a one-off launch?
Yes — once the setup and glossary exist, subsequent string batches are priced per word with no repeat setup fee.
Do you do transcreation as well as literal localisation?
Where a string is genuinely marketing copy rather than interface text, we flag it and price it under Marketing & Transcreation instead, so you're not paying a transcreation rate for a button label.
