- Could you explain what Localization entails?
Localization, as executed by TransGate, is much more than translating content from one language to another; it’s about adapting your content or product to resonate with the local audience of a specific region. This process involves considering cultural nuances, local customs, and preferences to ensure that the content feels naturally relevant and engaging to the local audience.
