A BUYER’S GUIDE FOR LOCALIZATION SERVICES:

Your localization partner is going to do a deep-dive into your business—so start by diving deep into theirs. Are they an industry-leader with 20 years of experience or a relative newcomer? Will they speak Samoan, Uzbek, or Swahili (and all your customers’ languages)? Can they deliver on-time and on-budget—every time?

Ask how many languages they support. Find out whether their translator team comprises just linguists, or linguists and subject matter experts. Explore the backgrounds of their senior management team. Be nosey. Ask questions. Cyberstalk. The more you know about them, the smarter your ultimate decision will be.
