notable localization projects

LOCALIZATION

A large advertising company came to us to perform a very sensitive, multilanguage website localization for a major American auto manufacturer.

Working closely with the advertising company, ALS translated, transcreated and localized this website under tight time pressure. In particular, we overcame some formidable graphic design problems and were able to create a product that satisfied both the advertising company and the auto manufacturer. In fact, they tested our language in several focus groups and the website translations were received very favorably.
