App localization is the process of translating any software or content into a different language or cultural context for a specific nation or region. This can involve changing the interface’s language, texts’ and dates’ formats, and even the way that images and other cultural references are presented.
The majority of app downloads take place in nations that do not speak English. Around 75% of app downloads are predicted to originate outside of the US by 2021. An app’s downloads and revenue may rise due to localization.
This process can help increase its popularity and user base in other countries and improve the user experience for non-native speakers. It is a common practice for companies to translate to a global audience.
The end goal is often the following:
01
The first step is to thoroughly analyze the app and extract all the text that needs to be localized. This allows our team to understand the app’s content, structure, and objectives and identify potential challenges or issues that may arise.
03
05
02
Following the completion of the analysis and text extraction, our expert translators begin converting the material into the target language. Individuals complete the translation entirely. They also use specialized tools to ensure consistency and correctness and collaborate closely with our project managers to ensure that the translation follows any standards or specifications provided by the customer.

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.

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!
Atlas Reactor
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.

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.

Tolma4 Team did a great job in regards to communication, on time delivery, iterative workflows, testing and giving us confident in our newly formed partnership from the very beginning. Thank you! And of course we highly recommend Tolma4 Team!

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. 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.
