LinguaNext, based in Pune, has launched today Linguify.Mobile, a language platform product, which is capable of converting downloadable mobile apps of Android and Windows, in Indian languages.
In a country like India that hosts multiple regional languages, Linguify.Mobile has huge potential as it can transform any mobile application for use in various Indian languages with no application performance loss, and without changing or accessing the underlying source code. Due to the time consuming process that includes refactoring source code, getting translations, carrying out language testing and application lifecycle management for multiple languages, translation of a mobile app has always been a daunting task. Linguify.Mobile offers a quick implementation – in a timeline measured in days to have a ready application available in any language, as stated by the company during its launchevent in New Delhi.
At the launche event, LinguNext also announced that they have transformed mobile apps of Quikr, India’s leading cross-category classifieds platform and Yepme, India’s biggest fashion brand specializing in the online retailing of men’s and women’s apparels and accessories, in Hindi through this product.
Since majority of apps are in English language and can’t be understood by those users who are not familiar with English language, this service of LinguaNext is boon for those apps developers, who would like to get their apps converted in local languages for reaching out to more and more customers. The enterprises can benefit a lot by making their mobile apps global, reach out to newer markets, or even reach domestic customers who prefer different languages.
Linguify.Mobile has very simple process of translating mobile applications :
1. The application developer sends the mobile application to LinguaNext
2. LinguaNext puts the Linguify.Mobile wrapper around the mobile application
3. Strings used in the application are translated into required languages and added to the dictionary
4. The mobile application is now linguified and ready to be sent abck to the developer for signing and uplaoding to the respective play stores
5. LinguaNext manages the translation lifecycle of the translated application in the same way
“In a diverse multilingual country where millions access the internet from their mobile phones, we aimed to come up with a solution which can give mobile app users freedom to communicate, browse and shop in their own preferred language. By introducing Linguify.Mobile, we are confident of making this the de-facto standard for application language localization across all industry verticals. We are excited to launch the first single integrated mobile app in Hindi for Yepme and Quikr,” said, Mr. Jagdish Sahasrabudhe, CEO, LinguaNext, commenting on the launch.
