Welcome to wordcrafts!
We are localization specialists for Mac OS X and iOS applications.
In case you are a developer and want your app to speak more languages, you have found the perfect place to broaden the target audience of your app.
Whether you have a game, productivity app or other tool for Mac OS X or iOS – lean back reassured that you have found a high-level localization provider who provides almost every service you can imagine – if you want us to.
You may see us as a blackbox – send your Mac, iPhone or iPad resources and receive a fully localized, documented and locally adapted version soon after – if you configure the blackbox to do that.
Ask for the full service – or just order bits and pieces:
That is up to you.
iPad launch special offer!
To celebrate the iPad launch we now offer a 10% discount on all iPad localizations!

Localization
Localizing your app is generally a good idea.
Not every user is fluent in English or prefers to use English-only applications. By localizing your app into more languages you automatically increase the number of potential users.
The genre of your app is what determines the actual need for localization: Developer tools do not need to be localized – but think about the potential for productivity apps or games.
The closer your app is to the end-user, the more valuable a localization is.
What do you want us to do?
We offer two predefined service levels, the "Full service" and the "Plain translations" packages.
Just look what suits you best or ask for individual services.
Packages
We offer two predefined service levels. However, if you need a more individual service, do not hesitate to ask.
Full service:
This is our premium full-service package. You prepare your resources for localization and send them to us. We then translate them, adapt them to local requirements, check and resize the UI, translate your documentation and marketing material, i. e. parts of your website or iTunes App Store descriptions. We assist you with all kinds of linguistic services, follow the public opinion about your app, check reviews or app store ratings – the service range is almost unlimited.
Sometimes you do not need the full-service package.
You only need a few strings in a couple of languages?
Plain translations:
You prepare/provide your localizable resources and send them over. We translate them and adapt them to local requirements. That´s all. A plain translation service.
Even when ordering plain translation services, your translations are carried out by language professionals who work on a Mac and therefore are familiar with the system, its specific terminology and love for detail.
Tools
Localization Tools
We make use of the "Localization Suite", which is an excellent localization toolset. Our close collaboration with Max Seelemann, the creator of the Localization Suite, ensures a high level of support and allows us to contribute to the constant development from a translator´s perspective.
The Localization Suite creates a sandbox which encapsulates all your valuable resources in one file, so that nobody can mess up your resources. When receiving the localized versions, you just export them back into your Xcode project. As your original resources are only used as a reference, the simple import is possible even when your original resources have undergone further development in the meantime. There are only two words needed to describe the process: Reliable and secure.
Project Management
As we do not like email as a project management tool, we use a web-based project management system. This ensures that everybody has access to the latest information and no information gets lost. Just log in, track the progress, answer our questions and finally receive the localized and checked localizations.
The Localization Suite modules:
Manager, Localizer, Dictionary.
