Languages
At Lucyol, we are passionate about language quality. Our internal language expertise covers French. Although we work with a few selected in-country partners (in Europe and Asia), we focus primarily on adapting highly technical contents and products to the needs of the French market.
French
French is one of the world's most widely spoken languages with approximately 265 million speakers. It is a complex language, with very strict rules defined by the "Académie Française", the official French authority on the usage, vocabulary, and grammar of the French language. Particular attention needs to be paid to the quality of any translation into French (even highly technical texts), as many French readers regard poor quality documentation with contempt. A single language error is often enough for an entire translation to be considered poor quality, which can have a disastrous impact on your image. It is therefore not uncommon for customers to be much more demanding for French than for any other language, and metrics (i.e. daily output) are generally different (up to 25% less).
Therefore, French is often selected as a pilot language on multilingual localization projects, because French customers are acknowledged to be especially demanding when assessing the quality of a product. Quality-conscious customers choose Lucyol for French because of our team's unmatched ability to identify and report problems in the source material at the very start of a project. Corrections can then be implemented in the source files before translation begins in other languages.
Lucyol is one of the few localization providers fully aware of the particular requirements for successfully localizing IT contents into French. We have set up a team of highly talented experts, specializing both in various areas of IT and in French linguistics. Consequently, it is no surprise that once customers choose Lucyol for their IT localization into French, they don't go elsewhere.
If you already have French versions of your products, you may also want to talk to us about verifying the language quality of your existing translations, and about possibilities of leveraging these to reduce costs and to maintain consistency.
Other languages
If your requirements include other languages, there is still a chance we can manage your translation and localization needs through a few hand-picked specialized in-country partner companies, who offer the same level of language expertise, provided by specialists in the target markets (Europe and Asia).
