Gabriel Guzovsky’s Experience

Localization: A Definition

Software localization implies more than just the mere translation of the product's user interface. Companies require their software to be adapted to the culture of the target country, so that they can reach a larger audience.

Localization, in this case, stands for the complex operation that consists in translating the software and also in adapting it according to the linguistic conventions and cultural specifics of the users from the target country.

This process often requires a lot of work hours and tremendous effort from the development teams, but there are a number of tools that were specifically created in order to simplify the localization process. Also, many of the localization projects are outsourced to specialized companies in order to reduce costs.

Development of websites for different small/medium sized companies during free time after school. Just like selling lemonade.

In this field, I still run some personal projects, as http://www.divulgare.com, that serves as my (in)direct communication channel and to keep me updated on the technologies, but actually simply because I just love the internet and it's possibilities.

Also I´m available for consulting issues, specially in Marketing directed to the Latin American consumer.
