Document Translation vs. Localization — Choose the Right Service

Certified document translation prepares written records with a signed certificate of accuracy. Localization adapts websites, software, and marketing content for a target market. Corpus provides certified document translation—not website, software, marketing, multimedia, or app localization.

Translation Preserves the Document. Localization Adapts the Market Experience.

Translation converts written text from one language to another while preserving meaning. Localization goes further by adapting cultural references, date formats, currency, interface text, imagery, and tone for a specific market.

Corpus specializes in certified translation of written documents. We do not provide website, software, app, marketing, multimedia, voice-over, or international SEO localization. If your file is an official record such as a birth certificate, marriage certificate, diploma, transcript, or legal document, use the order or quote route below. For localization projects, choose a specialist localization provider.

Common Localization Projects — And Who Should Handle Them

Website Localization

Website localization can include page copy, menus, forms, error messages, metadata, images, and market-specific SEO. Corpus does not provide website localization or implementation. Choose a specialist localization provider with target-market and technical SEO experience.

Software & App Localization

Software and app localization can include interface strings, notifications, help content, app-store listings, and formats such as XLIFF, PO, JSON, and .strings. Corpus does not provide software, app, SaaS, or interface localization. Choose a provider equipped for engineering workflows and in-market testing.

Marketing Localization

Marketing localization adapts campaign messages, calls to action, packaging, email, social content, and brand tone for an international audience. Corpus does not provide marketing, advertising, or campaign localization. Choose a specialist that can validate cultural fit and brand consistency in the target market.

Multimedia Localization

Multimedia localization may involve subtitling, captioning, voice-over, e-learning, or presentation adaptation. Corpus does not provide these services. Our scope is certified translation of written documents.
