Software App & UI Localization

Hansem Global localizes software, app, and web UI, from strings and menus to system messages, so your product reads naturally in the user's language.

Why Hansem Global?

In-House Localization Engineering

We handle the technical side: extracting UI strings, re-fitting layouts for text expansion, and checking that translated interfaces display and function correctly.

Consistent Strings & Terminology

Menu labels, error messages, and repeated UI terms stay consistent across screens and languages, managed with our in-house Hansem QA solution.

One Consistent Pipeline

We localize UI across many languages in a single workflow, keeping strings and terminology identical while adapting to each language's layout.

What to Know About Software & UI Localization

What gets localized in software and app UI?

Interface strings, menus, buttons, error and system messages, help text, and app-store listings, with layouts adjusted so translated text fits each screen.
How do you keep UI text consistent across an app?

We manage UI terminology and repeated strings in a termbase, so the same label reads the same way on every screen and in every language.
How do you handle text that expands or breaks the layout when translated?

Our engineers re-fit layouts for languages that run longer than the source and test that buttons, menus, and dialogs display correctly after translation.

Our Localization Services

Software Localization

We localize software across four areas. Translation adapts UI text accurately and in context for each region. UI/UX adaptation makes the interface clear and intuitive for local users. Locale adaptation handles regional formats such as dates, currency, numbers, and units of measurement. And QA testing checks functionality, layout, and display after localization.

Software localization across text, UI/UX, locale formats, and QA.

Web Application Localization

We localize web applications end to end. We translate all UI text, including navigation, buttons, and error messages, and adapt images, symbols, and color schemes to local preferences and cultural sensitivities. For search visibility, we localize keywords and metadata to each target market’s search engines. We also test that the localized application stays responsive and functional across devices and browsers.

Mobile Application Localization

We localize mobile apps across content and platform. We translate app text while keeping the original intent, and adapt icons, graphics, and interface elements to local preferences. On the technical side, we adapt the app to work correctly in each market, aligning with local payment integrations and data formats. And for discoverability, App Store Optimization (ASO) localizes titles, descriptions, and keywords for local app stores.

Terminology Management

We build and maintain terminology so wording stays consistent across a project. Term extraction identifies key terms from your materials, including technical jargon and industry-specific vocabulary. We then structure a termbase with metadata such as part of speech, definitions, context, and usage notes, and translate each term into your target languages with cultural nuance in mind. The termbase integrates with industry-standard translation tools for consistent use, and is updated regularly to reflect evolving language and user feedback.

Certified Quality, Backed by Security

Every Hansem translation follows the ISO 17100 two-linguist (four-eyes) review process and is delivered under ISO 27001-certified data security. Backed by ISO 9001, 17100, 18587, and 27001 certifications, Hansem gives regulated industries a translation partner they can audit and trust.

A Human Linguist Network in 100+ Languages

Hansem connects you with native, subject-matter linguists across 100+ languages, experts who understand your industry and local market as well as the language itself. Sustaining a network this size takes more than headcount. Our in-house Resource Management System (RMS) recruits, verifies, and assigns qualified linguists by language and specialty at scale, so each project is matched with the right expert rather than whoever happens to be available.
