Localization is one of the fastest growing areas in India with a global market of around forty billion USD. The industry is seeing demand with the proliferation of SaaS & Cloud-based software. The legacy software users like banks & insurance firms are increasingly competitive and hence reaching out to customers in local languages has become mandatory for better customer acquisition. Further, with an aim to bridge the digital divide and create more opportunities to the underserved segments, the government of India has taken various steps such as Digital India, Jan Dhan Yojna etc. where localization & distribution of contents in Indian languages will further lead to a massive demand for localization.

LinguaSol (a Fidel group company) offers a patented solution Linguify that can localize the user interface of any web, mobile, desktop or enterprise software to any language without the need to modify the source code or database. Since the code is not modified, this as the most secure, speedy and cost-effective way to localize the software application with very less involvement on client side. This is a complete externalized solution and hence meets the regulatory & compliance requirements for banks, government agencies & public sector companies. Apart from Linguify, the firm’s portfolio of solutions includes LinguaMT, eXtract and LinguaMate.
LinguaSol further specializes in translation of data & customized reports which is significant as many enterprise software applications though code-localized are unable to cater to translation of data. Linguify translates the user interface as well as the date, currency formats can be changed using customized services, thereby delivering a fully internationalized software.

Gathering Trust by Overcoming Challenges
Fidel is growing at a very fast rate so one of the challenges for the company is to find the trained translator with necessary tool and domain knowledge. Fidel regularly trains freelancers or host workshops on latest tool and technologies as well as partners with fellow companies to create an ecosystem around it.
While many software product/application companies are still seeing localization as costly, cumbersome, time & effort consuming, Linguify can practically localize any web/cloud or enterprise software application in six to eight weeks without the need of any involvement of IT staff from the client side.
The Company believes to be someone who places customers and their needs at the forefront while developing and managing their information. Talking about the most challenging and satisfactory moment with client Sunil says, “A global player wanted to do a market entry in Japan and had to localize their software in Japanese in 4 weeks but the parent company was not interested due to less traction. We were able to deliver it in the said duration helping them a successful market entry into Japan” The company feels it as a real proud moment in the delivery of the project with the help of their team.
A Look into Future
Fidel sees India as a growing hub for localization services. Localization Industry is affected and shaped up with the advent of AI, automation, and machine translation trends. The company is continuously investing in technology, linguistic training, and domain-based specialization to deliver best class translation & product localization services.
