What is software and app localization in Edinburgh?
Software and app localization in Edinburgh is an ISO 17100 certified service that adapts UI strings, SaaS platforms and mobile applications into 150+ languages for Edinburgh fintech and gaming studios, from £30 per page with same-day turnaround.
How does software localization differ from translation?
Software localization differs from translation by adapting UI layouts, date and currency formats (£, €, ¥), pluralisation, cultural imagery and locale-specific legal text, while translation only converts source text into a target language without touching code, resources or format logic.
What software and app content can be localized?
Localizable content includes UI strings, error messages, tooltips, onboarding flows, in-app documents, marketing sites, help centres, App Store and Play Store listings, screenshots, push notifications, EULAs and embedded video subtitles across mobile and web products.
What is the software localization workflow for Edinburgh clients?
The Edinburgh workflow runs in 6 stages: kickoff and i18n audit, pseudolocalization QA, string extraction into CAT tools, translation with termbase and translation memory, in-context UI review, and continuous localization back into GitHub through Crowdin webhooks.
What technologies and tools power the localization stack?
The stack combines CAT tools (memoQ, Trados) with XLIFF exchange, Crowdin as the translation management system, GitHub Actions for CI hooks, pseudolocalization scripts and generative AI post-editing for high-volume string bundles.
Which industries in Edinburgh does the service support?
The Edinburgh service supports fintech studios at the Royal Bank quarter, gaming teams, SaaS product companies, mobile app developers and enterprise software vendors, covering both regulated UI copy and consumer-facing product experiences.

How it works
What is the software localization workflow for Edinburgh clients?
1
How does the continuous localization pipeline integrate with GitHub and Crowdin?
Release branches trigger Crowdin webhooks that pull new strings, assign them to native translators, run automated QA and push translated resource files back into the repository before the next sprint cutoff. GitHub Actions handle the CI hooks. The pipeline ships UI to 150+ locales without breaking Edinburgh studios’ release cadence.
2
How do you handle ongoing software updates and version consistency?
Translation memory and a per-product termbase keep terminology consistent across releases. Diff-based string extraction limits every update cycle to only the newly-changed strings, so recurring sprints cost less than the first bundle. Version tags map every translated string back to a commit SHA.
3
How fast can string bundles be turned around?
Following the ISO 17100 throughput benchmark of 1,500–2,000 words per linguist per day:
- Single UI screen — 24 hours.
- 5,000-word string bundle — 3 working days.
- Same-day rush — up to 10,000 words at a 25–50% surcharge.
What technologies power the software localization stack?
The stack combines CAT tools (memoQ, Trados) with XLIFF exchange, Crowdin as the translation management system, GitHub Actions for CI hooks, pseudolocalization scripts and generative AI post-editing for high-volume string bundles. The toolchain is scalable from a single mobile app to enterprise software with millions of words in translation memory.
Do you work with AI-generated translations or existing localisation outputs?
Yes — machine translation output and existing TMX/XLIFF assets are accepted, cleaned and post-edited by professional translators to ISO 17100 quality. AI solutions handle the draft; human post-editors handle terminology, tone and locale compliance. This avoids rebuild costs on legacy TMs.
Which industries in Edinburgh does the translation and localization service support?
The Edinburgh service supports:
- Fintech studios at the Royal Bank quarter — regulated UI copy, FCA-aligned wording.
- Gaming teams — UI, in-game dialogue, store assets.
- SaaS product companies — dashboards, onboarding, help centres.
- Mobile app development teams — iOS and Android app localization end-to-end.
- Enterprise software vendors — embedded firmware UI, admin consoles, EULAs.
Coverage extends across various industries where product design and UX must reach a global marketplace.
How do you serve Edinburgh fintech studios?
Fintech localization pairs UI strings with sworn translation of regulated disclosures, keeping FCA-aligned wording consistent across every locale a Royal Bank quarter studio ships to. In the UK context, “sworn translation” is delivered as certified translation, since the UK common law system does not designate sworn translators. Regulated documentation is cross-referenced through Technical Translation in Edinburgh when the product ships alongside compliance manuals.
How do you serve Edinburgh gaming teams?
Gaming localization ships UI, in-game dialogue and store assets to 150+ locales via release-branch integration. Edinburgh studios add languages without breaking build cadence. Every language pair uses native translators with experience in software and game domains.

Why us
What are the benefits of localizing software and apps for Edinburgh companies?
Localizing software delivers 4 measurable benefits for Edinburgh companies:
- Expanded addressable market across 150+ locales and every language on the release matrix.
- Higher App Store and Play Store conversion — a native-language listing is the first impression a buyer receives.
- Reduced support tickets when in-product copy matches the user’s locale.
- Faster release cadence when localization runs inside CI/CD instead of blocking the sprint.
How do you choose a top software localisation services provider in Edinburgh?
Choose an Edinburgh software localization service on 6 factors:
- ISO 17100 certification (a translation company founded on standards).
- Native-translator sourcing — professional translators with domain experience in software.
- CAT tool and CI/CD integration.
- Pseudolocalization QA.
- Transparent per-page or per-word pricing at competitive rates.
- A verifiable turnaround benchmark rather than a directory review badge.
Why prefer an ISO 17100 translation company over a directory listing?
ISO 17100 fixes reviser, translator and QA roles by contract. Directory listings, verified reviews and verified client reviews only confirm that the agency exists — not that its output meets a translation standard. Verified client badges do not audit translation memory hygiene, terminology governance or pseudolocalization coverage.
What questions should you ask before signing with a translation agency?
Ask about:
- File formats supported (does the vendor accept your
.strings,.xml,.json?). - Translation memory ownership (yours, forever).
- Per-locale QA coverage.
- Rush-tier surcharges.
- Direct GitHub or Crowdin workspace integration.
