Free Localization for Mobile Apps
The single easiest way to boost your downloads…and your revenue is to localize your app. If you don’t you are turning away millions of potential users in the global app market.
With iTunes, Android Market and other app portals already reaching global markets (and growing by leaps and bounds) there has never been a better opportunity for software developers, large and small, to get immediate returns on their localization investment.
Despite this amazing opportunity, many mobile app developers cannot afford the investment or risk of starting to localize.
Glyph is changing the rules…to your benefit!
First Localize, Then Invest
Usually in localization we talk about return on investment (ROI), but Glyph wants you to get the return before you invest so that you can make further investments with confidence and without the financial risk.
Glyph is offering to localize your app into one target language for free. We’ll help you pick a market and then localize the app and download portal descriptions. Then we’ll plug your app on our blog.
Once you see the new downloads and revenue streams you can expand your language portfolio and keep riding the wave.
Glyph’s people are easy-going and very knowledgeable, so you are sure to have a great experience.

English, Spanish (Spain), Spanish (Latin America), French, Italian, German, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Polish, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Korean or Japanese - Professional human translation of UI content, source code content and market portal content (iTunes App Store, Android Market)
