Localization is more than translation. It’s product fit: the right tone, formats, regulatory nuances, SEO terms, and UX details that make software feel native in every market. Plugg Tech connects companies with nearshore Localization Specialists who partner across product, design, and engineering—aligned to U.S. time zones, fluent in English, and backed by white-glove support, payroll and compliance, and ongoing Consultant Care..
Nearshore specialists align language, tone, formats, and UX so products feel local—not translated.
Plugg curates localization pros fluent in English and experienced with TMS tools, i18n/l10n, and linguistic QA.
Plugg manages payroll, contracts, and compliance—and stays engaged through Consultant Care after start date.
A Localization Specialist adapts products for new markets—beyond words. They localize UX copy, app strings, emails, docs, and help content; advise on SEO keywords and cultural references; and partner with design/engineering to prevent layout, truncation, or encoding issues. They work across TMS platforms (e.g., Smartling, Phrase, Lokalise, Crowdin), understand ICU message format, pluralization, date/number/currency formats, and collaborate on i18n best practices, including pseudolocalization and RTL considerations.
Core competencies to expect
Market-appropriate terminology, tone, and glossary/term-base management
String management, context notes, and screenshots for translators
Linguistic QA and functional testing in staging
SEO localization: queries, keywords, and SERP-safe titles/descriptions
Collaboration with PM, design, and engineering (Figma, Git, ticketing)
Real-time collaboration. Overlapping time zones with U.S. teams speed reviews, glossary approvals, and release readiness.
Fewer production surprises. Early involvement catches UI and formatting issues (truncation, bidi, line breaks) before launch.
Cultural fit, better UX. Local idioms, imagery, and compliance cues increase trust and conversion.
Cost efficiency with quality. Senior capability at predictable cost improves ROI on market expansion.
Scale on demand. Add a specialist for one market (es-MX, pt-BR) or scale across multiple locales when a release window approaches.
Deep LATAM network
Plugg curates Localization Specialists familiar with major TMS platforms and agile release cycles.
Time-zone alignment for faster launches
Same-day reviews and approvals cut delays between content, design, and engineering.
Understands Latin American business culture
The Plugg team has lived and worked across LATAM, bringing on-the-ground insight into language norms, formal/informal tone, and regional differences (es-MX vs es-AR vs es-CO, pt-BR nuances, etc.).
Role-specific vetting
Screens cover terminology management, style guides, i18n pitfalls, QA checklists, and release workflows—mirroring client tools and ceremonies.
White-glove operations
Payroll, contracts, and compliance handled—so legal/finance stay clean and teams stay focused.
Consultant Care
Post-placement check-ins keep goals aligned, surface risks early, and support retention during peak release periods.
Fast, curated shortlists
Hiring managers get tight, relevant profiles with tool proficiency, domain context, and availability.
Flexible engagement models
One specialist, a language pair, or a small “localization squad” (specialist + reviewer + QA) as needs change.
Partnering with specialists in nearby countries and overlapping time zones to localize copy, UX, and content for target markets.
You get meaningful cost savings with real-time collaboration and cultural alignment—faster approvals, fewer rework loops, and better UX.
Common TMS platforms include Smartling, Phrase, Lokalise, Crowdin, and Transifex—plus Figma for context and Git/Jira for release workflows.
Plugg Tech acts as the legal and payroll layer across LATAM—managing contracts, benefits, and taxes for clean, compliant operations.
Glossaries, style guides, context screenshots, and linguistic QA are standard. Plugg aligns definitions of “done” with design and engineering to prevent last-minute fixes.
Plugg Tech helps companies localize products the right way—fast. With a vetted LATAM network, time-zone alignment, and full-service support, teams launch market-ready experiences without the usual friction. Consultant Care keeps momentum high after kickoff so every release feels native.
