Database Localization

As companies expand into the worldwide market, they take their information with them. Databases form the backbone of company. From straightforward lists to complex applications, databases keep all of the relevant information organized and attainable. Client information, financial records, product codes, and even patients' medical histories are all carefully guarded lists of crucial company information. This is why global companies need a partner who will treat this information as if it were their own key to success.

When companies need to localize their databases, there is no substitute for an experienced localization partner.

When localizing a database CSOFT's localization engineers typically follow the following workflow:

• Pre-translation file preparation to match the structure of the database with the localization technology tool to be used
• Select which database columns are to be localized and which values should not be altered
• Search database for native values or previous translations that can possibly be leveraged to reduce costs
• Post-translation file analysis to check for conformity and proper value placement
