Glyph Language Services has launched a limited time offer to
localize mobile games and applications for free. New clients can
receive localization and emulator testing services for one Android or
iPhone app in one target language. The special offer was officially
launched in conjunction with the Mobile Games Forum in London.
“We see a tremendous opportunity for app developers to strengthen
the profitability of their mobile businesses by localizing into new
languages,” says Glyph CEO Aaron Schliem. “Many development houses just
don’t have the resources, though, to invest in localization. So Glyph
is leveling the playing field. We want to give all app developers the
chance to explore global markets with a low degree of risk. After they
start seeing success and new revenue streams, they will be positioned
to invest in further localization based on firm ROI metrics.”
The offer includes localization of up to 1000 words of content from
the UI, source code and distribution portal, plus emulator testing of
the localized app and valuable publicity via a mention of the app on
Glyph’s blog.
Available target languages include:
English, Spanish (Spain), Spanish
(Latin America), French, Italian, German, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian,
Polish, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Korean or
Japanese.
“The offer is a great way for large established games and app
development operations to get a feel for Glyph’s expertise in mobile
apps and web localization. This is a great niche for our company and we
are excited to be a part of the globalization of the platforms,”
comments Schliem.
