About the profitability of localizing software please read Common Sense Advisory's article about profitability of localization. Here are the highlights:

• revenue from outside home market was 40% of total revenue (so called xenorevenue)
  
• profit from outside home market was 45% of total profit
• localization cost was 2,5% of the revenue from outside home market

According the study, localization cost is minimal compared to the benefits. Multilizer tools and consulting offer a professional and thoroughly tested way to do localization. Our client list includes, for example, IBM, Intel, and ABB. Here are Multilizer's business benefits from management's point of view:

• shorter time-to-market: Multilizer streamlines the localization process and reduces workload. Multilizer also eliminates unnecessary translation thus further shortening the time-to-market.
• better quality and less negative customer feedback: Multilizer's automatic QA tools can be used in all stages of the localization project.
• lower translation cost and better quality: Multilizer supports efficient reuse of existing translations and utilization of the translation resources that are freely available on the internet. For example, Multilizer provides tools for utilizing Microsoft's free translations.
• increased software quality: Clients adopt your software sooner because the software language is consistent and uses the customer's terminology. With well-thought and consistent terminology the customer needs less training and requires less support.
• effective use of development resources: Developer resources are usually more expensive than localization resources. Multilizer ensures that development resources are not unnecessarily used on localization tasks. Thus the critical time-to-market of new projects is not jeopardized by localization.
• one localization process: simplify and reduce your project management by localizing both your software and documentation in one localization process. You can expand Multilizer's support for new file formats by localization plug-ins.
• localization process scalability: easy translation outsourcing with Multilizer's free tool ensures that adding new languages and software modules or documentation does not require additional project management capabilities
