Software localization services involve the process of adapting software to suit both the culture and language of the user. This adaptation takes into consideration graphics and video design, and the user experience design. The overall goal is to ensure that the end user is able to use the product conveniently.
Software translation services are essential as they make your product usable outside of your region. This means that without it, your product will be of no benefit to millions of people no matter how great and brilliant it is. The needs and preferences of software may vary for each region, hence, the need for localization arises. A software localization company makes it possible for you to have a loyal client base, faster customer acquisition, brand awareness, and increased conversion rates.
Beyond changing the language of basic parts of the product so the users know what buttons to use in navigating the page, software localization also involves changing some sizes and positions of the buttons and other elements of the design. Sometimes, it is necessary to change the code from the backend so that employees from other regions can work with the product.
At Tolma4 Team, we provide localization services for SaaS, web, and mobile applications covering translation of all interface strings and other user-facing text, a collaboration of developers to fix line breaks and region-specific text anomalies, and testing localized applications to confirm language accuracy in its proper context, and detecting internationalisation bugs.
Give your product the visibility it needs to benefit millions of people all over the world. The best way to do this is to localize your software. At Tolma4 Team, we guarantee flexibility, innovation, quality service, fonts localization, quick translation and editing.

The first step in this process is to send a copy of your file to a software translation company, which then sends you a quote. If found satisfactory, you approve this quote.

LiS: Before the Storm
The Tolma4 Team created an unofficial Russian localisation for our game Before the Storm. We worked with them to help ease the implementation of this localisation as a mod and also promoted it across our brand channels, but they handled all technical issues and localisation work.

Writing a testimonial for Tolma4 Team is actually rather easy. Don’t think about any other localization partner for the Russian market, just go with the wonderful Tolma4 Team – no questions about this decision. Mi’pu’mi Games collaborated on The Lion’s Song with T4T and…
MechaNika, Agatha Knife, Colossus Down
Really professional and friendly team. They did an awesome job with the localization of our first game, MechaNika. Can’t wait to work together again on future projects!
Over the Ocean
Tolma4 Team was easy to work and communicate with on the long, 50k+ word Russian and German localizations of Even the Ocean. They were fast in localizing art assets, and their QA caught missing text that I had forgotten needed to be localized.
Treasure Adventure
The fine folks at Tolma4Team did a FANTASTIC job with the localization and made the process as painless for me as possible. I was constantly impressed with their professionalism, quality and speed. The complexity of localizing was always something that worried me but Tolma4Team’s crew truly put my anxieties at ease.
Sally Face, IMMURE
It was a pleasure working with Tolma4 Team. Their work was very efficient, everything was handled with a professional quality. I hope to continue working with them in the future!

Vernon’s Legacy
It is not easy to find a good translator for a computer game. Usual translators are often overwhelmed with such a task, there are sure more specialized in technical texts. The Tolma4Team specializes in the translation of video games and the guys do it really well.
Late Shift
It’s been a pleasure to work with the Tolma4 Team on the FMV game, Late Shift. They were professional and went above and beyond what was offered, even including a service for a number of YouTubers to play the game once the translations were complete.
Flat Kingdom
Evgenia and her team did a great work on Flat Kingdom. Delivered on time, adjusted to our budget, and with a great attention to the details.
Google Chrome is a good case study. When you download and install it, the installer will detect the user’s region automatically and install the version that matches the region.
Internationalization is a job done by a developer to make the operating system support various societal variations, from time zones to their metrics, and even mirroring language interfaces of similar dialects to give an original feel. Contrarily, localization is done by professional linguists who work on a given text while making sure the final document aligns with the standards of the selected region.
Almost all industries utilize specialized systems, and most people lack English proficiency skills. Businesses require this solution to accommodate diverse dialects and maximize navigation on their website, which, in turn, promotes better usage and worldwide adoption.

The team’s professionalism throughout the entire process was fantastic and they worked quickly to provide a high quality localisation that appeared to be very well received by our Russian speaking fan community. We did not test or verify the contents of the modification created by the Tolma4 Team and therefore are unable to endorse it officially, but there is no question that their diligent work helped open up our game to Russian speaking fans.

They were professional and went above and beyond what was offered, even including a service for a number of YouTubers to play the game once the translations were complete. The translations were double checked in the game also, which is a very nice touch. The team were friendly and we would highly recommend them to any other developers or publishers looking for a quick and efficient turnaround of Russian localisation.
