Intricacies of UX Localization Quality

In almost all translation projects, linguists inevitably ask questions to improve the quality of their translations. When localizing user interface/user experience (UI/UX) elements on web pages, the frequency of these questions can escalate, influenced by factors such as the amount of context and background information the project manager gathers from stakeholders. Many variables, ranging from the linguists' workload to the capabilities of the TMS tools, can affect the quality of the project deliverables.

In this presentation, which delves into the intricacies of localizing UI/UX elements, we will explore essential considerations within the localization program when adapting a company's webpage for specific markets. Drawing insights from the hospitality industry and relevant experience, our discussion will cover topics such as context understanding, left-shifting, adaptation, and a brief exploration of artificial intelligence.
