Babel Linguistics Inc.

read moreOur team of professional linguists are experienced at translating literary and highly technical content for diverse industries. We specialize in leveraging translation and localization services with new media, including brands and documentation, software, web sites, marketing ancillaries, video presentations, and e-learning content in multiple languages and locations.

Weuse sophisticated memory recognition software to maintain text consistency as a MultiTerm database is developed for the language of every project. Tools like TRADOS assist in meeting tight deadlines and developing powerful translation memories (TMs) for further reference. TMs allow archiving translated content into a memory file, which is used conveniently in future similar translations from same client. When a new content is ready for translation, we run a parallel analysis to obtain the number of new words, matches and repetitions that exist between the new document and the TM. As a result, we factor in the discount for those matches and repetitive words for your final cost estimate, making your project more affordable each time.

We specialize in the process of translating a website's user interface (UI) and content from one language into another. When necessary, we also adapt the website's design and functions to suit the foreign culture associated with the target language. Our process comprises localization and adaptation of online and interactive content, creation of glossaries and style guides, terminology management, translation memory management, localization of 2D/3D graphics, web and multimedia productions, audio/video and flash components, web publishing, and multilingual content management connectivity.

Software Localization:

Babel Linguistics verifies that products, applications, and content meet the language and the local specific requirements of global markets. This process comprises Translation verification testing (native linguists and editors verify text accuracy), Localization functional testing (test experts, usually native engineers, verify that there is no impaired application functionality so that performance is reliable for the localized OS and local hardware configurations), and Localization UI testing (identifies cosmetic defects in localized software: missed translations, embedded text in images, truncated strings, formatting errors, etc.). Through SQA we apply proactive, meticulous, rigorous, repeatable methods to the testing of software, in this way assuring that defects are recognized and eliminated before the application is launched.

E-learning & localization of educational materials:

Babel Linguistics is assisting educational publishers and government agencies reach their globalization objectives. Our country, like many others, is growing increasingly multicultural, and various institutions face the challenge of making education services available to immigrant populations. Thus, educational materials require solutions to create curricula that are culturally appropriate. Such institutions must be able to deliver this language-specific content quickly and cost-effectively. For them, having an experienced global partner with solid education and expertise makes all the difference.

We've been localizing apps for a decade now; that's more than a lifetime in internet years. Our top localization projects from California have allowed us to learn the most recent innovations and to work with Apple's third-party vendors for localizing their apps. In a nutshell, our work is verifying that products, applications, and content meet the language and the local specific requirements of global markets.
