User Interface (UI)- a term that may sound technical, but which is in fact an essential element for any company.
Not only is a UI the "front door" to direct access with users, its usability and overall functionality can have a large impact on corporate and product image.
However, UI translation can be beset by multiple challenges, including limits on the number of characters and complex operational procedures. ALAYA has established the UI Localization Center in Sapporo, where we have concentrated the wealth of experience we have built up in this sector. With the best quality translation it is possible to draw out maximum product value.
What is more, at the UI Localization Center from the project design phase we provide solutions to improve work flow, including such considerations as cost reduction and shortened delivery time.
Our network of native speakers from around the world can also perform actual checks on the UI and equipment.
As a UI localization professional we work to eliminate all problems and inconveniences with a view to raising product value.
ALAYA has actively engaged in the development of overseas resources.
In addition to our own overseas bases in China, we have partners in a wide range of countries in Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
We have contracted translators in more than 50 countries worldwide.
Our global network can help our customers to discover new possibilities, thanks to the provision of local sales promotion support, as well as high-quality printing and desktop publishing (DTP) services at local cost.
What is more, for customers seeking to transfer business overseas, we can assist with overseas vendors, and the provision of HR and office supply services.
Whether our customers are already engaged in international business or just starting out on the global stage, we can offer a wide range of services that are guaranteed to exceed expectations.
