What is a localization?

It´s the adaptation of your products and services to the needs and expectations of a certain audience.

In the global business environment, it is essential for your products and services to be launched successfully in different global regions. When entering the new markets or expanding into existing ones, it is important to take into account that an engaging message in Mexico might not be as engaging in Japan or the United States.

For your product, service or website to compete in the foreign market it is necessary to make use of location.

That being said, the process of adaptation to the specific culture, region a, d language needs to be carried out.
