What is software and app localization?
Software and app localization is the process of adapting a product’s UI strings, error messages, store listings, help content and embedded assets for a specific locale, so users in that market experience the software as if it were built natively for their language, currency and cultural conventions.
What are software localization services in Nottingham?
Software localization services in Nottingham are ISO 17100 certified linguistic and engineering services that translate and culturally adapt UI strings, SaaS platforms, mobile apps and store listings across 150+ languages from £30 per page, delivered by human linguists supported by CAT tools, translation memory and XLIFF-based CI/CD connectors.
How does the software and app localization process work in Nottingham?
The Nottingham localization process runs in six stages — internationalization audit, pseudolocalization QA, string extraction to XLIFF, human translation inside a CAT tool with translation memory, in-context linguistic and functional QA, and continuous delivery back into the Git repository — all governed by ISO 17100 revision by a second linguist.
What types of software and apps can be localized for Nottingham businesses?
Mobile apps (iOS, Android), SaaS platforms, enterprise software (ERP, CRM, HRIS), e-commerce storefronts, fintech and payments products, medical and NHS-facing apps, edtech platforms for the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University, games, IoT firmware UIs and internal admin tooling all fall inside our Nottingham localization scope.
How much does software and app localization cost in Nottingham?
Software and app localization in Nottingham starts from £30 per page (GBP) at the document level, moves to string-level pricing of roughly £0.08–£0.18 per source word depending on language pair and subject matter, and applies a 25–50% surcharge for same-day rush of up to 10,000 words, with translation memory typically cutting repeat cost by 20–40%.
How long does software and app localization take in Nottingham?
A Nottingham localization project follows the ISO 17100 throughput of 1,500–2,000 words per linguist per day, so a single certified UI page is delivered in 24 hours, a 5,000-word app string set in 3 working days, and same-day rush jobs handle up to 10,000 words at a 25–50% surcharge.

How does software localization differ from generic translation services in Nottingham?
Generic translation services in Nottingham handle documents word-by-word, while software localization operates on XLIFF strings with variables, plurals and context screenshots, integrates with developer workflows, and is priced by string volume and sprint rather than per certified page. Document-level work — witness statements, contracts, certificates — is scoped separately on the Translation Services in Nottingham hub.
| Attribute | Document translation | Software localization |
|---|---|---|
| Unit of work | Certified page | String / XLIFF segment |
| Pricing basis | Per page (GBP) | Per word + per sprint |
| Tooling | Word processor, PDF | CAT tool + Git connector |
| QA | Proofreading | Pseudolocalization + in-context QA |
| Delivery | Email PDF | Pull request into repo |

Pricing
How long does software and app localization take in Nottingham?
A Nottingham localization project follows the ISO 17100 throughput of 1,500–2,000 words per linguist per day, so a single certified UI page is delivered in 24 hours, a 5,000-word app string set in 3 working days, and same-day rush jobs handle up to 10,000 words at a 25–50% surcharge.
What are typical turnaround times by project size and language count?
A 500-word MVP app string set into one language ships in 24 hours; a 5,000-word SaaS UI into 5 languages runs 5–7 working days; a full enterprise platform of 40,000 words into 10 languages runs 4–6 weeks; ongoing continuous localization keeps sprint turnaround inside 48 hours.
| Project size | Languages | Turnaround time |
|---|---|---|
| 500 words (MVP app) | 1 | 24 hours |
| 5,000 words (SaaS UI) | 5 | 5–7 working days |
| 10,000 words (rush) | 1–3 | Same day (+25–50% surcharge) |
| 40,000 words (enterprise software) | 10 | 4–6 weeks |
| Sprint delta (continuous localization) | Any | < 48 hours |
Can AI do localization, or is human expertise still needed for Nottingham software?
AI translation drafts high-volume software strings quickly, but human linguists are still required for regulated, marketing and UI-critical content — the Nottingham workflow routes help-centre and e-commerce text through AI with human post-editing, while legal disclaimers, medical device UIs and financial disclosures stay human-only under ISO 17100. Roughly 90–98% of modern localization teams now apply post-editing to AI-generated content; the boundary is not “AI or not” but “which string class”.
| String class | Route | Reviewer |
|---|---|---|
| Help centre articles | AI + post-editing | Human post-editor |
| Changelog notes | AI + post-editing | Human post-editor |
| High-volume e-commerce listings | AI + post-editing | Human post-editor |
| Non-regulated marketing microcopy | AI + post-editing | Human post-editor |
| Brand-voice onboarding flows | Human-only | ISO 17100 linguist + reviser |
| Legal disclaimers | Human-only | ISO 17100 linguist + reviser |
| Medical device UI (MHRA) | Human-only | ISO 17100 linguist + reviser |
| Financial disclosures (FCA) | Human-only | ISO 17100 linguist + reviser |
| Safety-critical error messages | Human-only | ISO 17100 linguist + reviser |
Which string classes are safe for AI translation with post-editing?
Help centre articles, changelog notes, internal knowledge bases, high-volume e-commerce product listings and non-regulated marketing microcopy are safe for AI translation followed by human post-editing, because errors are recoverable and volume economics reward machine drafting.
Which string classes stay human-only under ISO 17100?
Legal disclaimers, medical device UIs, financial disclosures, safety-critical error messages, brand-voice onboarding flows and any string bound to UK regulation (FCA, MHRA, Home Office) stay with qualified human translators under ISO 17100 revision, with no raw MT allowed in the delivery.
How does modern translation technology combine AI and human expertise?
Modern translation technology combines AI and human expertise inside a single CAT tool: LLM engines pre-fill segments, translation memory locks previously approved wording, terminology databases enforce brand vocabulary, and human linguists review, revise and sign off every string, giving Nottingham teams speed without surrendering accuracy. A modern translation management platform centralises the workflow, so AI drafting, TM lookup, termbase enforcement, human revision and in-context review run inside one environment rather than four tools.

What should I consider when choosing a software localization company in Nottingham?
When choosing a software localization company in Nottingham, verify ISO 17100 certification, engineering fluency with XLIFF and Git, translation memory ownership terms, native-linguist coverage in every target language, transparent GBP pricing, same-day rush capability, and evidence of prior SaaS or app work in comparable Nottingham or East Midlands sectors.

- XLIFF and Git connector experience (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket).
- Translation memory ownership — the memory must be yours at contract end.

Is TS24 a reliable software localization company?
Reliability of any Nottingham vendor — TS24 included — is best assessed against a verifiable checklist rather than brand claims alone: ISO 17100 or ISO 18587 certification, published references, translation memory ownership, native-linguist coverage and CI/CD integration. Our Nottingham service line publishes each of those checks openly, and we recommend Nottingham buyers apply the same test to every shortlisted translation company before signing.
How does TS24 compare against a Nottingham language service such as AST Language Services?
AST Language Services is a well-established Nottingham translation partner strong on document, website and eLearning localisation; our Nottingham software service line differs by leading with engineering integration — XLIFF, Git connectors, pseudolocalization QA and sprint-priced continuous localization — rather than per-document translation projects. Both approaches have a place. Document work fits page pricing. Software work fits string pricing and sprint cadence.
What questions should Nottingham buyers ask a localization vendor before signing?
Ask vendors who owns the translation memory after contract end, which CAT tool they use, whether ISO 17100 revision is included in the headline rate, how they handle string context (screenshots, in-context QA), how continuous localization is priced per sprint, and which UK regulations (Home Office, FCA, MHRA) they have worked under.
- Who owns the translation memory when the contract ends?
- Which CAT tool and translation management platform is in use?
- Is ISO 17100 second-linguist revision inside the headline rate?
- How is string context supplied — screenshots, live UI previews, in-country review?
- How is continuous localization billed per sprint?
- Which UK regulations has the vendor worked under (FCA, MHRA, UKVI, Home Office)?

Frequently asked questions about software and app localization in Nottingham
The most common Nottingham buyer questions cover pricing floors, ISO 17100 scope, AI translation limits, translation memory ownership, University of Nottingham linguist involvement, and how software localization connects to certified translation and website localization services already offered on the Nottingham hub.
What is software localization?
Software localization is the process of adapting a digital product — interface, code-driven content and multimedia — to meet the linguistic, cultural, legal and technical requirements of a target market. It is wider than translation and includes UI, formats and cultural adaptation.
What are software localization services?
Software localization services are the combined linguistic and engineering services that adapt a software product for a specific locale. They cover UI string translation, mobile app localization, SaaS platform localization, store-listing localization, help centre translation and continuous localization tied into a CI/CD pipeline.
How much do translation services cost in Nottingham?
Document translation in Nottingham starts from £30 per page in GBP. Software localization moves to string-level pricing at £0.08–£0.18 per source word depending on language pair and subject matter, with same-day rush at a 25–50% surcharge and translation memory reuse cutting repeat cost by 20–40%.
How much does the UK pay for translators?
UK translator rates for software localization sit in the £0.08–£0.18 per source word band for common EU languages, with regulated content (legal translation, medical device UI, financial translation) at the upper end. Rates vary by language pair, subject-matter proficiency and ISO 17100 status.
Which languages are covered?
150+ languages, including French, German, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Dutch, Portuguese, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi, Bengali, Turkish and Russian, alongside every other written translation pair Nottingham product teams request.
Is certified translation available alongside software localization?
Yes. Certified translation services Nottingham buyers need for Home Office, UKVI, Companies House and HMRC documents run on the same account as the software work. Certified translation in Nottingham sits under the parent hub and connects to the same terminology governance used for the product UI.
Does the service cover website localization Nottingham teams already run?
Yes. Website localization Nottingham teams commission uses the same translation memory as the app and SaaS UI, so brand voice, terminology and legal microcopy stay aligned across the product, the marketing site and the help centre.
