Your message,
fluent across Asia
and heard worldwide.

For twenty years, LocaTran has helped global brands speak with confidence across Asia and the wider world. Our core expertise is in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, with coverage across major market. AI brings the speed; native linguists bring the voice. The result reads as if it were written in the target market, never translated into it.

Translation & Localization Services

Translation is only part of what we do. Connection is the goal.

Translation & Localization Services

The world's most ambitious brands want more than a translation. They want their words to be understood, felt, and acted on. That demands subject-matter linguists, in-market reviewers, rigorous terminology management, technology built to scale, and a partner who treats sentence as part of your brand.

Founded in Shanghai in 2004, LocaTran was built on a simple belief: a translation that reads like a translation has already failed. We serve enterprise clients across financial and legal services, technology, industrial and manufacturing, life sciences, retail, and media. Our center of gravity is Asia, with native expertise in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and the languages that surround them. Our network extends across Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas.

Six services. One end-to-end partner.

From a single document to a multi-year program, we support your localization journey. Choose what you need, combine services as required, and scale when you're ready.

Human wisdom, accelerated by AI.

We don't believe in machine versus human translation. We believe in the right blend, applied to the right content, at the right quality target. Our production stack brings neural MT, large language models, translation memory, and human review into a single auditable workflow. Speed, consistency, and judgment, in one place.
Multimedia

Custom-trained engines
We benchmark, fine-tune, and deploy machine translation engines tailored to your domain and language pairs. Quality estimation flags which segments need post-editing and which are ready to ship.
Generative AI

Why clients stay for a decade.

Plenty of vendors translate. Very few become long-term partners. These are the differences our clients tell us matter most.
Asian-language
Asian-language depth, global reach.
Headquartered in China, with native teams across Asia, Europe, and the Americas, we bridge a gap that many providers struggle to cover.
Senior project management
Senior project management across client accounts.
You don't get a junior coordinator. You get a senior project manager with industry depth, working in your time zone, accountable for quality, deadlines, and budget from kickoff to invoice.
transparent pricing
Predictable, transparent pricing.
Per-word, per-hour, or program-based, quoted clearly. We pass TM leverage and MT efficiencies back to you, so there are no mystery line items and no surprises in month three.
partner
A partner, not a vendor.
Some of our long-term client relationships span more than a decade. We invest in understanding your products, brand voice, reviewers, and timelines, helping each project build on the knowledge developed over time.
