Technology and software translation services
Technology products ship often, and their words change with every release. We translate and localize software, documentation and websites between Japanese, English and other Asian languages with consistent terms across versions.
What is technology and software translation?
Technology and software localization is the adaptation of software, user interfaces, help content and technical documentation for users in another market. Green Sun localizes technology products between Japanese, English and other Asian languages, working from your strings, glossary and style guide.

Support load
Clear UI text and documentation answer questions before they become tickets.
03
Release speed
A repeatable process lets translation keep up with each release.

FAQ
Technology translation FAQ
What is software localization?
Software localization adapts an application’s interface, messages, help content and documentation for another language and market. It involves text, formats and sometimes layout, while keeping code, placeholders and tags intact.
Which technology content do you localize?
We localize user interfaces and error messages, onboarding flows, help centers and knowledge bases, release notes, developer documentation, websites and marketing content.
Can you work in our localization file formats?
Yes. We work from the string and resource files you export. Tell us your format and workflow and we confirm in the quote how we will handle them.
How do you handle continuous releases?
Approved text is stored in a translation memory, so each release only needs translation for new or changed strings, and terminology stays consistent between versions.
How do you keep UI terms consistent?
We agree a glossary and style guide at the start, apply it to every string, and check terms in context where screenshots or access are provided.
Do you translate AI and machine learning content?
Yes. We translate documentation and product content for AI products, and we also provide machine translation post-editing and translation data services for teams building language models.
How do I request a technology and software translation quote?
Use our quote form or contact page and include the language pair, the type of document, the deadline and the files if you have them. We reply with a quote and a plan.
What affects the cost of technology and software translation?
Length, language pair, subject complexity, formatting needs and deadline. Send the files and we will quote after reviewing them.
