German IT and software translation – localised and release-ready
IT and software translation by professional translators – across Germany, fixed price from €0.95 per line, quote in around two hours.
Software localisation: technically clean, in context and consistent across releases
App, SaaS and documentation in every language – technically clean localisation in which keys, placeholders and layout stay untouched and terminology holds across all releases.
With software, it is not only the translation that matters, but whether the file still works afterwards. A broken placeholder, a wrong plural form or a too-long string breaks the interface – visible to every user. We translate only the values and leave keys, syntax and variables untouched.
Localisation is not a one-off project; it runs alongside your releases. We work in your formats, share glossary and translation memory across UI, documentation and help, and check every language under the four-eyes principle of DIN EN ISO 17100.
For product and localisation teams: reliably localising UI, app and SaaS
Which file formats do you handle without rework?
We handle the common exchange formats directly – XLIFF, JSON, .po/gettext, .properties, .resx and .strings – and return them in identical structure. Keys, tags and syntax are preserved; only the visible value is translated, so the file flows back into your repository without manual repair.
Do placeholders, variables and plurals stay correct?
Strings often contain placeholders such as {count} or %s and rules for plural and gender that apply differently in each language. We treat ICU MessageFormat and comparable constructs as protected elements, set the language-specific plural and address forms correctly, and check that the variables sit in the right place in the target string.
How does localisation fit into our release cycle?
New and changed strings can go to us per sprint or commit and come back in the same structure – without manual handover. We integrate via your localisation platform or an agreed file handoff, so that finished language versions are ready close to the release.
For documentation and support teams: interface, manual and help consistent across releases
How does the UI terminology stay the same in help, documentation and marketing?
A button is ideally named the same in the interface, in the manual and in the onboarding text. We maintain a shared glossary and translation memory across UI strings, API documentation, release notes and knowledge-base articles, so that users find the same terms everywhere.
How do you ensure that strings fit their context?
A label is not an error message and not a tooltip – the same words can come across wrongly depending on position. We work with context notes, screenshots and length specifications, so that translations fit into the intended area and do not appear cut off or ambiguous.
How is the quality of technical texts checked?
After translation, every language undergoes a professional revision in accordance with DIN EN ISO 17100 by a second qualified person. For software, we supplement the linguistic check with a review of the technical elements – placeholders, tags and character lengths – before the files go back.

IT and software translation – frequently asked questions
What does a software localisation cost?
From €0.95 per standard line; the binding fixed price depends on volume, scope, language combination and quality level, and you usually have it within around two hours.
Do you work with XLIFF, JSON and .po?
Yes. We localise from common i18n formats (XLIFF, JSON, .po, .resx, .strings) and keep placeholders, variables and plural rules intact.
Do you take character lengths and the UI into account?
Yes. We translate UI strings with awareness of space and context, on request with screenshot or in-context review.
How do you ensure consistency across releases?
Through translation memory and a termbase, designations stay consistent across versions and products; we integrate into your CI/CD and repository processes.
Do you also translate documentation and help?
Yes. UI, online help, API documentation and release notes from a single source, coordinated in terminology.
i18n-compliant software localisation
Software is localised, not translated: we work from i18n formats (XLIFF, JSON, .po, .resx), keep placeholders, ICU MessageFormat and plural rules intact, and integrate into CI/CD. In addition to UI and documentation, we transfer Terms of use, Patent specifications and Audit reports – consistent across releases thanks to term base and translation memory.
