Localization
Have a program you need localized?
Eye Street has been localizing applications for years, specializing in .NET languages, and we can help you do it to. We know all the tricks, and can train your team to avoid the subtle problems.
There is more to delivering multi-lingual .NET applications than translating the RESX files! Source code often needs changing, in-country experts need consulting. Marketing collateral, help files and user guides all need to be translated and kept in sync with the evolving application code. We work with your developers, testers and marketing team so localization is part of your team's culture.
Traditionally, translation happens when the application code is finished and testing is complete. The product team has a month or more to wait after delivery before they can complete the multi-lingual versions. Eye Street can localize your application while it is being built, in parallel with your developers! There is really nothing more satisfying than delivering a multi-lingual application a month or two early, is there?
