ACCENT CORPORATION - Reliable Translation, Interpreting & Localization Services

What is localization?

Localization means adapting software, websites, manuals and other materials for a specific market. In addition to translation, it requires specialist knowledge such as modifying technical specifications and adjusting information for the target country. As a localizer for clients doing business around the world, ACCENT proposes the best solution for each project.

Software Localization

We localize software into Japanese so that overseas software can be used in Japan, or into English or other languages so that Japanese software can be used abroad. We translate the user interface (menu names, button names, text box labels, error messages, status bar messages, etc.), online help (WinHelp, HTML Help, browser-based formats, etc.) and PDF manuals. We translate resource files and handle the technical work, paying close attention to single-byte/double-byte languages and character encodings (Unicode, JIS, EUC, UTF, etc.).

Website Localization

Corporate websites have become an important part of business strategy. Creating a website for overseas audiences is not just a matter of translation: it requires an understanding of the company's message and product features, as well as the culture and customs of the target country. ACCENT translates using expressions that feel natural and effective to native users. We also handle graphics (image) processing, CGI, scripts and other programs, and can work with PDF, HTML, XML, RTF, SWF and many other file formats.
