Worldwide translation company in San Diego, CA


Known as ‘America’s Finest City’, San Diego is abundant with industry, ranging from military and defense to startups and IT. Both large scale businesses and smaller projects thrive in the city thanks to its skilled workforce and pro-active work culture. We work with all industries and businesses in the city providing all manner of language services. 

San Diego

America’s Finest City, which is no misnomer. Beautiful beaches and abundance of parks make San Diego a prime destination for tourists and immigrants alike. The likes of Immense Balboa Park, with its lush green spaces and its included San Diego Zoo, provide visitors with a plethora of things to see and do. Towards the famous San Diego Harbor, tourists can see the city’s defense roots and take a tour of the USS Midway, a disused aircraft carrier docked at the bay. 

With a booming economy and a unique start-up culture, many people have flocked to the city in pursuit of entering new industries. People travel from across the world to become part of the city, which is no surprise considering what it can offer.

Industry in San Diego

Tourism

Tourism plays an important role in the economy of San Diego, with many coming to enjoy the sandy beaches and open parks across the city. It is a jewel of California and thus hospitality is important to the functioning of the city. As many of these tourists come from other countries, English can be a unique problem for them. Due to this, it is recommended that certain marketing materials, literature, and other language options be available to prospective customers. Proofreading and editing these forms of content is something we specialize in and can provide your customers with the comfort and understanding they need to enjoy your business. This also goes for marketing materials, if you are advertising abroad it may be best to localize your materials in a form that suits the context of the target market, as social norms and expectations differ between countries. 

Defense

The military and defense industry is giant in San Diego, owing to its access to the Pacific Ocean and its important harbor. These firms employ many specialists from across the globe, bringing with them their expertise and knowledge. A common issue facing those immigrating to America, for this reason, is the language barrier, especially in translating legal documents and resumes. Our team can translate legal documents with precision and care, ensuring that the legal terminology is carried correctly so that it still holds up in the United States legal system. Those with resumes should also contact us in regards to our proofreading service. During this process, we ensure that your resume has correct spelling, grammar and punctuality so that you don’t go unnoticed by prospective employers.

Start-Ups

Start-up culture is growing throughout the US, with San Diego being at the forefront of this. These firms specialize in everything from life sciences to software, the latter being one we commonly aid in. Software is difficult to translate, as bringing it to new countries with different languages doesn’t always yield the same results. Everything from keyboard layouts to the user interface differs depending on the expectations of the end-user. Due to this, it is imperative that the software is localized effectively, ensuring that it is understood correctly in the new territory. During this process we break down the software, molding everything from the interface, graphics, and language used to that of the new user. This is essential when exporting software abroad and something we have years of experience in.

Languages of San Diego

San Diego is home to many ethnicities and cultures, with a diverse population and range of languages accompanying this. Spanish is largely used across the city, with many speaking it as a first language. Similarly, Chinese and Tagalog are also spoken throughout the city, with small areas of the city primarily speaking these languages rather than English.

Those looking to expand their customer base, or who need help in translating important content should contact us today. Our advisors are always ready to provide you with quotes and detailed information.

The terminology used in the translation industry can be a source of confusion for many people. Many terms are often wrongly used interchangeably. Localization and translation are two of such terms.



Localization refers to the process of taking a product or service and making it culturally and linguistically appropriate to the target locale (language, region or country) where it will be marketed. As such, localization is a much deeper process of which translation is part of. The process usually involves target graphics, content modification to the target market, local requirement conversions, local format conversion and adherence to local laws and regulations.



This makes it a time consuming and complex process that is best handled by professionals at On the Dot Translations. To tackle localizations projects we have invested in certain aspects including expert translators, localization experts, project managers and software developers. Our localization service process involves:
