Translation vs Localization – What’s the Difference?

We’re here to break it down and establish a sense of clarity in the translation vs localization debate. There are two questions that anyone working in the translation and localization industry is guaranteed to be asked: “What is it you do, exactly?” and “Isn’t that just a fancy way of saying you translate?” Check out our info graph below and you’ll see they are very different. Yet the should be mutually exclusive. Any translation requires a strong localization strategy. So maybe the headline shouldn’t be translation vs localization after all, but instead, be translation and localization, the perfect marriage.
