For all your translation needs please contact us at http://word-trust.com. Translation is the process of converting the text from one language to another. It is not, however, just a matter of a mechanical conversion of words: an accurate translation requires complete understanding of the original text on the part of the translator, who must convert it into the target language. Localization on the other hand, is the process of adapting the original contents to the linguistic and cultural systems of the destination geo-linguistic area. This process must take into account technical standards, stylistic requirements, and the expectations and needs of the target market.
