HOW LOCALSOFT HELPED ONE OF THE WORLD’S TOP 10 MOST INNOVATIVE COMPANIES GO GLOBAL

Background

One of The World’s Top 10 Most Innovative Companies wanted to expand their worldwide presence to help them reach 500 million users within a three-year time frame. The company was managing their localization using freelance translators and looked to outsource the service to a highly experienced localization service provider that could meet their deadlines while guaranteeing top quality.

Challenge

One of The World’s Top 10 Most Innovative Companies approached Localsoft to help them expand their global presence. They were looking for translation and editing services for game content and on-line help files, and they were working with very tight deadlines (two-hour turnaround times in some cases). There was an immediate need to localize 21 on-line titles that required daily updates.

The project kicked off within a few weeks from the initial contact date and Localsoft was assigned four initial languages. Approximately 1.2 million words (300.000 words per language) needed to be translated and proofed during the first month, respecting top quality and deadlines.

Solution

Localsoft assembled a large team of translators and proofreaders worldwide for our client. Following our quality standards, translators were tested and those that scored more than 7.5 out of 10 on our tests were selected. Several of our Project Managers were designated to our client and within a month, we built a team of more than 100 linguists worldwide working exclusively on our client’s projects.

Outcome / Result

Within the first year we had successfully localized more than 4 million words for the global market and our client reported a revenue of over one billion dollars for that fiscal year.
