Software Localization Services for SaaS, Apps, and Enterprise Platforms

A straightforward software localization project with a moderate word count and two to three language pairs can typically be scoped, kicked off, and delivered within five to ten business days. Larger projects, more language pairs, or content requiring specialist review such as medical or legal software will take longer. We provide an accurate delivery estimate during scoping before any work begins, and we build timelines around your release schedule rather than our convenience.

We work with all common software localization file formats including XLIFF, JSON, PO and POT, RESX, YAML, iOS .strings, Android XML, CSV, HTML, and more. We also work with content exported from localization management platforms. If you are working with a format that is not listed here, contact us. In most cases we have worked with it before, and if we have not, we will tell you honestly before we commit to the project.

Localization testing, sometimes called LQA or linguistic quality assurance, is the process of reviewing translated content inside the actual software interface rather than in a translation file. It catches issues that only appear when strings are rendered in a real UI: truncated button labels, text that overflows its container, misaligned RTL elements, and broken character encoding. If your software has any UI elements with limited space, right-to-left language targets, or complex formatting, localization testing is strongly recommended. For regulated industries it is often required.

Yes. We work alongside whatever localization management setup your team already uses, whether that is a dedicated platform like SmartCAT, an in-house TMS, or a simpler file-based workflow. We do not require you to adopt new tooling or change your process to work with us. If you are setting up a localization workflow for the first time, we can advise on what will work best for your product and your team.

Yes, and for most software teams this is how we work together over the long term. After your initial project, your translation memory and glossary are established, which means new and updated strings can be turned around faster and at lower cost than the original project. Teams with regular release cycles can set up a continuous localization arrangement with us so that new content moves into translation automatically as part of your development workflow.

App localization is a subset of software localization that specifically refers to adapting mobile applications for iOS and Android. Software localization is the broader term covering desktop software, web applications, SaaS platforms, enterprise systems, and embedded software in addition to mobile apps. The process and quality standards are the same. The main differences are in the file formats involved, the UI constraints of mobile screens, and the app store metadata requirements that mobile projects include.

Data security is a serious concern for software companies sharing source files and product content with a third party. Day Translations is ISO 27001 certified, which means our information security practices are independently audited and meet internationally recognized standards. All project content is handled under strict confidentiality agreements, and we can accommodate specific data handling requirements for enterprise or regulated-industry clients. Talk to our team about your security requirements before scoping begins.
