Serbian Localisation and Website Translation

Millions of people worldwide use the internet to find products and information every day. If your business trades worldwide, you’ll probably need your website to reflect that by having it translated into several languages, including Serbian. We call this process website translation and localisation.

Our project managers can help you decide which website translation services and localisation solutions suit your needs best.

Serbian website localisation and translation

Working from your source files and using our specially designed software, our qualified and experienced Serbian website translators and Serbian website localisation specialists will extract the content of your site, translate it in a style appropriate to the locale, then proofread and edit it. If you prefer, we can also work from MS Word files supplied by you, (or any number of other source file formats).

Our Serbian translators will identify aspects of the source content that are suitable for website localisation and consider aspects including:

• religion
• mores
• social and commercial habits
• sense of humour
• idiomatic expressions
• metaphors
• rules of conduct
• ethical norms.

There may be some aspects of your Serbian website translation and other material that are global and necessary for brand awareness. There may be product names or trademarks that need to remain consistent across all language versions.

The project manager working on your assignment will work with you to create a glossary of any terms that need to remain consistent across all versions of the site.

Serbian translation and software localisation

Our in-house software translation and localisation process and tools means “local” users will be able to interact fully with your site.

• Keywords and metadata tags can be localised for Serbian consumers to achieve best possible optimisation opportunities
• Layout can be adapted to accommodate longer text strings which may occur as a result of translation into Serbian
• All elements can be localised for Poland including text files, menus, dialogs, bitmaps and icons
• We can work with all the major Windows software formats as well as text files and tagged formats such as XML and HTML

We can either return the Serbian translated files to you for uploading and testing, or we can carry out a test of the localised version for you.

Brand name linguistic analysis

Because some brand names and slogans have unexpected cultural connotations, we also have an experienced team of Serbian brand name analysts. They can ensure your logo, slogan or other translations will not be misinterpreted.

WHILE YOU’RE HERE... SOME QUITE INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE Serbian LANGUAGE

Serbian is the standardized variety of the Serbo-Croatian language mainly used by Serbs. It is the official language of Serbia, the territory of Kosovo, and one of the three official languages of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In addition, it is a recognized minority language in Montenegro where it is spoken by the relative majority of the population, as well as in Croatia, Macedonia, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic. Standard Serbian is based on the most widespread dialect of Serbo-Croatian, Shtokavian (more specifically on Šumadija-Vojvodina and Eastern Herzegovinian dialects), which is also the basis of Standard Croatian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin.The other dialect spoken by Serbs is Torlakian in southeastern Serbia, which is transitional to Macedonian and Bulgarian. Serbian is practically the only European standard language whose speakers are fully functionally digraphic,using both Cyrillic and Latin alphabets. The Serbian Cyrillic alphabet was devised in 1814 by Serbian linguist Vuk Karadžić, who created the alphabet on phonemic principles. The Latin alphabet was designed by Croatian linguist Ljudevit Gaj in 1830.

Serbian SAMPLE TEXT

Cyrillic - Сва људска бића рађају се слободна и једнака у достојанству и правима. Она су обдарена разумом и свешћу и треба једни према другима да поступају у духу братства.
Latin - Sva ljudska bića rađaju se slobodna i jednaka u dostojanstvu i pravima. Ona su obdarena razumom i svešću i treba jedni prema drugima da postupaju u duhu bratstva.
