IT Translation Services - Information Technology Translation Solutions

Tomedes translates software and IT content such as UI strings, in-app text, user guides, API documentation, SDKs, knowledge base articles, and release notes. The team also handles XML, JSON, RESX, XLIFF, and Markdown files, so the original structure and variables stay intact. Typical daily capacity is planned around the project scope, with higher speed on updates when translation memory applies. Terminology is managed using a shared glossary so the same technical terms stay consistent across your product, website, and help center. Before work starts, Tomedes reviews screenshots and character limits to prevent truncation and design issues. The team can also localize app-store listings and web pages to match keywords in the target market. Tomedes assigns IT-fluent linguists and runs a second-linguist review when the content is high risk. This keeps quality tight for public releases.

Yes. Tomedes assigns native translators with recent IT projects and the right subject knowledge for your stack. They understand developer documentation, cloud services, cybersecurity, DevOps terms, and agile workflows. The process starts with a terminology pass, then translation, review, and final QA. Translators work with placeholders and plural rules, so variables and logic stay correct in every language. They also note UI constraints, such as character limits and truncated labels, and suggest short forms when needed. If your content includes code snippets or configuration lines, they are preserved and not translated. For long projects, Tomedes keeps the same team to maintain voice and style. This means faster updates, consistent term choices, and fewer fixes during testing. You get IT-accurate text that reads naturally for users and support teams.

Tomedes maintains accuracy with a structured workflow. The team builds a glossary and style guide up front, covering product names, commands, and sensitive technical terms. Translators use computer-assisted translation tools to keep terms consistent and to leverage previous versions. A second linguist reviews the output for terminology, clarity, and tone. For UI strings, translators follow placeholder rules and plural forms, which prevents broken logic and variable errors. Screenshots and context notes reduce ambiguity and save revision time. Before delivery, Tomedes runs automated QA checks to catch number mismatches, missing variables, and inconsistent terms. If the content is public or high risk, the team performs a final human read-through. This layered process reduces defects and keeps the language consistent across your app, docs, and support channels.

IT translation is usually priced per word and adjusted for language pair and complexity. Many projects fall between the low teens and mid-twenties per word. Languages with fewer resources or highly specialized topics can price higher, while updates with strong translation memory can price lower. Large volumes and long-term programs may qualify for discounts based on repeated segments and terminology reuse. To get a reliable estimate, share files, word counts, and a short description of the subject and risk level. Ask for a rate grid that shows base rate and discounts for exact and fuzzy matches. Tomedes provides itemized quotes, supports translation memory to reduce cost on updates, and assigns IT-fluent linguists so technical terms remain consistent as the project scales.

A practical planning baseline is about two thousand words per day for high-quality human translation, with faster delivery on updates when translation memory is strong. Complex technical content, heavy terminology, or many screenshots can add review time. For product teams working in sprints, it helps to batch files and lock a weekly handoff rhythm. Provide glossaries and character limits early so translators can decide on short forms without rework. Reserve time for a second-linguist review and for fixes found during UI testing. Tomedes aligns schedules with your sprint plan, reuses previous translations to increase speed on repeat text, and keeps the same linguists on long projects so style and terminology stay stable across releases.

Tomedes handles resource and documentation files common in software teams, including JSON, RESX, XML, PO/XLIFF, YAML, Markdown, HTML, and standard office formats. The team protects variables, tags, and placeholders so app logic remains intact. UI strings follow plural and selection rules in the target language. For store listings and marketing pages, translators adapt tone and keywords so the text reads naturally. If you maintain a term base or style guide, the team loads it before translation. For screenshots and character limits, translators add short alternatives that preserve meaning. If your pipeline uses continuous localization, Tomedes can work in small, frequent drops and provide regular handoffs tied to your build schedule.

Yes. Tomedes runs ISO-aligned processes for translation quality and can deliver human-only or human post-edited machine translation, depending on risk and timeline. For high-visibility releases, human translation plus second-linguist review is recommended. For internal or low-risk text, machine translation with full human post-editing can reduce cycle time while keeping quality near human levels. The team documents term decisions, uses style guides, and runs automated QA checks on every job. If you prefer human-only translation for compliance or brand policy, Tomedes provides that as the default. The goal is to match quality to the content’s risk so you meet release dates without compromising accuracy.

AI can produce a usable draft for low-risk content, but technical documents and UI strings usually need human review for terminology, placeholders, and tone. Variables and plural logic must not break, and short UI labels often need creative solutions that AI may miss. The safest approach is to decide by risk. For public releases, select human translation with review. For internal or exploratory material, consider machine translation with full human post-editing that aligns with your quality bar. Tomedes can test several engines on your content, choose the best path per file type, and provide a human-reviewed output that fits your sprint schedule.

Share the files, target languages, total word count, and a short note about the content and risk. Include any glossary, style guide, screenshots, and UI character limits. Ask for a rate grid that shows base rate and discounts for repeated text. If you work in sprints, list your drop frequency and desired delivery days. If you expect large updates, request a pilot so the team can confirm style and terms. Tomedes provides rapid quotes, sets up terminology and translation memory for future savings, and assigns IT-fluent linguists so the first delivery matches your preferred tone.
