Once your app or software is live, the next logical step is to grow your user base. And what better way to scale than by making your product accessible across languages, regions, and markets? If your app has proven its value locally, expanding internationally through localisation is the key to unlocking new growth.
Localising Software for Global Growth
We understand that working in the IT and software industry today means operating on a global scale. The need to go global – and fast – is more pressing than ever. With the rise of AI, multilingual expansion has become more achievable, but it still requires care and expertise.
Whether you’re delivering a SaaS platform, mobile app, enterprise tool, or cloud-based system, every element of your product must speak the user’s language clearly and naturally. Poor localisation can compromise user experience, damage your reputation, and cost you sales.
At Comms Multilingual, we offer expert localisation services for the entire software ecosystem – from UI strings and user manuals to in-app messages and developer documentation. With over 22 years of experience, we know how to navigate the complexities of multilingual software releases across agile and continuous development cycles.
What We Translate for Software & IT Companies
Our localisation work goes far beyond simple UI strings. We support a wide range of content types, including:
- User interface (UI) elements
- In-app notifications and messages
- API documentation
- Technical manuals and developer docs
- Product onboarding flows
- Knowledge bases and help centres
- Product release notes and changelogs
- Marketing and website content
- App Store/Play Store listings
- Internal training materials and e-learning
File Formats We Handle
Our technical expertise means we can handle all common (and less common) software localisation formats, including:
- XLIFF, JSON, YAML, XML, HTML, RESX, Java Properties
- PO files for gettext-based systems
- iOS/Android string files (.xml)
- Microsoft Excel, CSV, and TSV formats
- Markdown and HTML for documentation platforms
- SubRip (.srt), WebVTT (.vtt), and audio scripts for multimedia localisation
We work seamlessly with your development and localisation teams to ensure accuracy, consistency, and clean handovers across all platforms.
Our Translations are Tailored for the Tech Sector
We don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach – because software localisation isn’t just about words; it’s about context. A short UI string, for example, needs concise, accurate phrasing that won’t break your layout or confuse users. Legal disclaimers and EULAs require exact legal equivalence to avoid risk.
Developer documentation demands translators with technical fluency who understand the tools and terminology. Meanwhile, marketing copy needs creative adaptation to resonate across cultures, and video content may involve subtitling, dubbing, or voiceover localisation – all requiring different skill sets.
At Comms Multilingual, our linguists are not only native speakers – they’re qualified linguists specialised in IT, UX, engineering, and localisation best practices. That’s how we ensure every piece of content, no matter how technical or creative, feels right in every language.
AI-Powered Localisation – With Human Oversight
Many of today’s leading tech companies are exploring AI to scale their translation workflows. We understand the pressure to deliver multilingual releases quickly – and cost-effectively. That’s why we offer advanced AI translation solutions backed by specialist post-editing performed by experienced linguists who are familiar with the subject matter.
