Illuminus Media Launches Localization Services for Software, Voice Overs, Websites and All Content

Localization services are very necessary for market penetration - especially in non-English markets. Illuminus Media launches a comprehensive list of localization services catering to global industry.
 
March 17, 2011 - PRLog -- With the global economy getting increasingly connected and the markets constantly expanding beyond borders and nationalities, the need for localization services becomes all the more prominent. Somesh Thakur, founder and director of Illuminus Media Pvt. Ltd., a media company offering online marketing and media services, based in Bangalore, India, said that the company is offering localization services for websites, text, software, voice overs, and almost any type of content that needs to be adapted to a native language or culture.

“Having been involved in the field of translations, audio and music production for the past 18 years, we built up a huge global network of professionals whom we collaborated with on various projects. This has become our team, which keeps expanding and we offer services in almost any language – except Antarctica”, he adds with a chuckle. “Let’s say someone wants to launch a product or services in another country. He will gain a huge leverage if he can present his material in the local language and be able to compete with local brands as well.”

Localization refers to the process by which any content – be it software, text or audio-visual material - is adapted to different languages, regional and cultural differences and technical requirements of a target market. This is a big need in the global marketplace today, and is increasingly in demand from companies that have a global presence, products or services.

“Localization has its own challenges. For example, when we read in English, we read from left to right, top to bottom. But this is not always the case in all the languages – for example, Arabic, or Chinese. In those cases, one has to adapt the screen or the way the material is presented to the native reader. Of course, these are all the factors that we take into consideration,” Somesh Thakur explains. “There are also other challenges like adapting certain cultural aspects or examples which might be okay in one culture, but offensive in another. These are things that need to be taken care of, and people need to be aware of cultural sensitivities in these aspects.”

With the internet becoming an everyday experience of people’s lives, localization services are here to stay, as they make a big difference in communicating concepts to people, based on their language and culture.
