The Challenge
TrekkSoft Ltd. is a company from Switzerland. With four official languages and international customers, localization is a necessity rather than a luxury. As a bootstrapped startup without a significant budget for translations, TrekkSoft decided to leverage its passionate customer base to help translate its app. However, the team quickly realized that it was too difficult to efficiently manage all the translations without the right platform. Thus, TrekkSoft began to look for a solution that could help streamline the translation management process. TrekkSoft considered two alternate solutions but ultimately decided to partner with OneSky due to its efficient UI and competitive price point.
OneSky Solution
OneSky’s platform makes it easy for a first-time user to set up and manage a project. By using OneSky’s integrations, TrekkSoft was able to automate their end-to-end translation process. New and updated phrases were automatically imported to OneSky. In turn, our translators were informed of these changes and completed the translation using OneSky’s web-based translation tool. When the translations were completed, TrekkSoft’s engineers received the files automatically via integrations with their development environment. They could then easily update the multilingual versions of their app, with the translated strings properly formatted and already technically validated by OneSky’s platform.
The Results
By partnering with OneSky, TrekkSoft was able scale efficiently and effectively. Our integrations and technical expertise in handling different localization file formats helped them reduce engineering overhead and time while our domain knowledge helped them connect with a global audience in the tourism industry.
Trekksoft now serves customers from 125 countries in over 13 languages. As the company continues to grow internationally, the team will be looking to localize into even more languages.
