Tapas Localization

Сonvey perfection!

With today’s abundance of streaming services and other content providers competing for audiences, the decision of each to localize their media content into a particular language taking a particular locale into account is of vital importance.

Each new language opens up new audiences and geographical revenue streams. Therefore, even though localization is only ever a small part of your budget, it is considered to be a substantial revenue driver in media entertainment.

The Tapas Philosophy

When traveling across the world, I first misread Tapas as Taras, and I could not believe my name happened to be so popular abroad until I realized what tapas really was. A Spanish word tapar means "to cover". Sherry drinkers in old taverns used to cover their glasses between sips with thin bread slices known as the first tapas, to prevent fruit flies from spoiling the drink.

Now, how exactly does food correlate with the localization industry? Wait for it.

The localization made by Tapas serves as that type of "cover" to prevent your media content from being spoilt by false translation.

That’s right. Our international team of Fulbright enthusiasts is going to make sure no idiom gets past us, and no translator's false friend or inappropriate culture-bound element spoils the target impression. You tried hard to convey your message to international audiences. We make sure you convey perfection.

Why localize with Tapas?

We cherish the human touch

We work with seasoned and gifted translators who do not fear volumes coming at them, let alone potential complexities. No technology can handle nuances that efficiently.

We represent your language locally

We are a globally distributed team with local representative managers for each language we support for localization.

We balance speed with quality

Tight turnarounds sometimes mean poor localization. Yet, at Tapas, we are keen on working out the perfect turnaround for your project while respecting quality.

We respect both our talents AND your budget

Localization has been our bread and butter long before the launch of Tapas. For us, there is no proper localization for low remuneration. And yet, we are always ready to negotiate a mutually convenient quote.

New blood in the industry

Armed with great multi-language localizing experience behind, Tapas is still new proactive blood in the industry, ready to grow quickly and deliver like no one else.

We have worked with Tapas Localization very intensively in the last 4 months. I am very surprised at how agile and flexible the team is. The materials from my company come in a very asynchronous fashion, but Tapas Localization has always adhered to our deadlines and delivered just in time. We appreciate our collaboration very much.
