Best Practices in Planning for Content Localization

When you’re planning to localize your content, it can be challenging to understand where to start. But, from experience, we can identify five best practices that every localization manager should follow to ensure the best results:

With centralized linguistic assets—like translation memories and glossaries—you can ensure that all content follows the same standards and lexicon.

Platforms you use should work with your own internal content management systems and programs for hands-off end-to-end integration.

The terms that are important to your brand and market need to be a specific part of your corporate dictionary to ensure it becomes a central part of your program.

Without quality control, your translators won’t know the standards. This results in varying quality from piece to piece and creates an inconsistent voice.

With a reliable partner, you can simplify your localization efforts by taking advantage of their technologies and resources, which will improve your results overall.
