LOCALIZATION
Localization is the process of adapting content to a specific language, culture, market, and user behavior. It goes beyond translation — involving adjustments to cultural context, design, currency, formats, and functionality. 88% of users in Europe state that they prefer to see content in their native language and cultural context before making purchasing decisions.

Some statistics: Companies that don’t invest in localization lose up to 40% of potential customers — especially in e-commerce and digital applications. (Source: Eurostat, 2025)
Localized apps in European markets show 1.5 to 2 times higher user acquisition and retention compared to English-only versions. (Source: AppAnnie/Statista, 2025)
Goal: Make content feel natural, understandable, and effective in the specific market.
How Do Translation and Localization Differ? Translation is the direct conversion of information from one language to another. Localization, however, transforms and adapts content to the target language’s specifics, culture, and audience expectations. Translation is generally suitable for audiovisual documents, everyday texts, technical manuals, and instructions.
