What is the difference between translation and localization?

Translation converts text word-for-word between languages. Localization adapts cultural nuances, currency formats, date conventions, UI layout expansion, and local consumer behavior.

Why is there an engineering add-on for UI string extraction?

Engineering extraction extracts hardcoded strings into standardized i18n JSON/PO files, sets up translation keys, and handles dynamic variable interpolation without breaking front-end code.

What does In-Context Linguistic QA cover?

In-context QA ensures that translated phrases fit inside UI buttons and dialogs without clipping, verifying visual context on mobile and desktop viewports.

What is the baseline minimum localization project fee?

A $400 minimum engagement covers project kickoff, terminology glossary creation, translation memory configuration, and native linguist review.
