Why Localise Your App?

App localisation is more than just translation; it's about adapting your mobile app to resonate with users in different markets. This involves considering cultural nuances, local regulations, and user expectations to create an app that feels native to each target audience.

Benefits of App Localisation:

Increased Market Reach: Expand your user base by making your app accessible to a global audience.
Better User Experience: Improve user satisfaction and engagement with a culturally relevant and user-friendly app.
Boost Revenue: Drive downloads and increase revenue by catering to a wider range of users.

ACTC's expertise in linguistic and cultural adaptation ensures your mobile app is localised for each target market, maximising its impact, user engagement, and overall success.

Our App Localisation Services

We provide a comprehensive suite of app localisation services to help you achieve global success:

Text Translation and Adaptation

Our team of expert linguists meticulously translates and adapts all in-app text, ensuring accuracy, fluency, and cultural relevance. This includes user interface (UI) elements, instructions, help content, notifications, error messages, and any other textual content within your app.

We go beyond literal translation to ensure your app's language is natural, engaging, and appropriate for the target audience. This involves adapting content to fit cultural context, humour, and preferences, as well as optimising text direction in right-to-left languages like Arabic.

Audio & Video Localisation

We provide comprehensive audio and video localisation services to ensure your app’s multimedia content is culturally appropriate and engaging for international users. This includes:

Visual Adaptation: Localising visual content such as graphics, icons, screenshots, and videos. We adapt in-app colours, symbols, and imagery to align with cultural norms and sensitivities where required, ensuring a visually appealing and culturally sensitive experience.
Audio Localisation: Providing high-quality audio localisation for voiceovers or in-app sounds. We work with professional voice actors who are native speakers of the target language to ensure clear, natural-sounding audio that enhances the user experience.

ASO (App Store Optimisation) Localisation

Increase your app's visibility and downloads in international app stores with our ASO localisation service. We translate and adapt your app's metadata, including:

App Title and Description: Crafting compelling and keyword-optimised app titles and descriptions that resonate with users in each target market.
Keywords: Conducting thorough keyword research to identify relevant search terms in each language and incorporating them strategically into your app store listing.
App Preview Videos and Screenshots: Localising your app preview videos and screenshots to showcase your app's features and benefits in a culturally relevant way.

Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

We conduct rigorous QA testing to guarantee the quality, accuracy, and functionality of your localised app. Our comprehensive testing process includes:

Linguistic Verification: Verifying translations for accuracy, consistency, and tone, ensuring your app's language is flawless and culturally appropriate.
UI and Functionality Testing: Testing layout, formatting, and UI elements across different devices, screen sizes, and operating systems to ensure a consistent and user-friendly experience.
Cultural Sensitivity Review: Ensuring all content is culturally sensitive and contextually appropriate, avoiding any potential misunderstandings or cultural faux pas.
Compatibility Testing: Testing app functionality in various languages and on different platforms to identify and resolve any potential compatibility issues.
