Localisation

Localisation is where translation stops being a literary act and becomes a software engineering one — adapting strings, interfaces, and entire products so they feel native to a target market rather than merely understood by it. You'll work hands-on with localisation tools across software, websites, games, and e-learning content, handling the messy realities of variable strings, cultural filters, EULAs, and the team workflows that connect translators to developers and QA. Coming after your core translation theory courses, it's the bridge between linguistic competence and the technical, project-based work that defines most paying jobs in the industry today.
