Get your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERPs) System Localized

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERPs) system is one of your key IT assets to automate business practices and streamlining processes.

ERPs Localization means adapting ERPs software to different languages and regional variances. It is the process of translating an ERPs product /manual in other languages for adapting the language for a specific country or region. There are various ERP packages available and are well known as SAP, Oracle , Tally etc..

ERPs localization is much more different from other kinds of localization tasks since there are different modules which do not present a cohesive picture as software strings do. While it is easier to decipher software functionality by looking at the localizable strings, it is not so in the case of ERPs strings.

There are different modules, and so different containers which hold the strings. Generally, since these strings concatenate to create a full scenario, they can connect in more ways than one, and that poses a challenge. Also, ERPs has many different departments catered, which means there are hundreds of different scenarios in which these strings may be presented, resulting in an increased challenge for localizers.

Our team has been working for a number of projects involving localization of Financial, Process and Publishing & Packaging related software. We have localized it all, desktop software, web-apps, UA/UI websites using various types of forms and billing and metering systems. Our decade long experience provides Webdunia, the most suitable status for partnering with major ERPs providers and other organizations using business related software for their Localization/Translation needs.

We completed ERPs translation projects for various companies around the globe. We have recently assisted one of our clients with ERPs software/manual Translation, Review and Quality Assurance. The project entailed over 140,000 words requiring almost 1.5 months of skilled and experienced localization team of translators, reviewers and engineers to work on the ERPs translation project.

Our ERPs translation team consists of translators, reviewers and QA professionals was responsible for adapting all portions of the translated content. Simultaneously, our project managers ensured completion of all ERPs translation and software localization work on time, our team delivered the project back to our client meeting the deadline with utmost quality.

Quick Tips for the Translation Buyers

It is not that much trickier to find a right service provider for your translation requirements if you do it smartly. So how should you find the right translation agency to fit your needs? We have compiled a list of points to consider when preparing your document for translation, directed at helping you to better understand the service you require for translation.

So here it is….

Kind of document do you need to translate? Is it software/IT? Telecom? Life sciences?Automobile?

·         Some translators or translation agencies only work within specific industries . It is always better to choose the right people specialized in different industries you require. For ex. Document may need to be translated by a certified translator or sworn translators , which may narrow down your search.

Language(s) your document needs to be translated into?

·         There are many agencies that only work with only selected languages or a particular flavor of a language. For example, if your document needs to be translated into English for use in the United Kingdom, you may want to consider finding a translator/agency that is specialized in that particular flavor of English.

Target audience?

·         It is important to think about your target audience so as to help the translator convey the proper tone and writing style for the document. A document to be used in court has a different style than a document used on the internet for marketing   purposes, so communicating these needs is essential for facilitating the translation process and ensuring the highest quality of your document.

Requirement of any special services such as formatting or certification?

·         Evaluating this facet will really narrow down your selections, as many agencies and translators do not provide these DTP services. Bigger agencies are equipped to handle a range of formats and have an in-house team of desktop publishers who are  prepared to  assist you with DTP requirements .

A simple internet search of agencies will help you find a one-stop shop for your translation needs however it is advisable to scan their profiles (work experience, industry specialization, target languages,native linguists, DTP work , clientele, projects) before starting with a real project to get an idea of best fit for your translation requirements .

It will allow you to collaborate with them for long term to fulfill your translation needs.
