--- title: "Localisation Marketplace" url: https://zinnhub.com/marketplaces/localisation-marketplace/ description: "Hire verified localisation specialists for app, website and game strings, subtitles, voice-over, LQA and cultural adaptation. Native speakers, priced in USD." published: 2026-08-13T19:25:58+00:00 modified: 2026-08-13T19:37:04+00:00 language: en-GB --- # Localisation Marketplace ๐ŸŒ THE LOCALISATION MARKETPLACE # Buy Localisation from Verified Native Speakers The marketplace connecting software teams, e-commerce brands, studios and publishers with specialist localisation Zinners. String files, website and app copy, game text, subtitles, multilingual voice-over, glossaries and linguistic quality assurance โ€” commissioned direct, priced in USD. Native-Speaker Linguists String Files, Not Just Text Buyer Protection Verified-Purchase Reviews [Browse Services](https://zinnhub.com/search/localisation/?post_type=product) ### Localisation Services Available #### Software and App String Localisation Working in your own resource files โ€” JSON, XLIFF, PO, strings, XML โ€” with placeholders, plural rules and interpolation left intact, and length constraints respected so buttons still fit. #### Website and E-commerce Localisation Product copy, category pages, checkout and transactional messages adapted for each market, including the number, date, address and unit conventions buyers there expect. #### Game Localisation and Culturalisation In-game text, UI, item names and dialogue localised with the character limits and variable systems that game engines impose, plus a culturalisation pass on names, humour and imagery. #### Subtitles, Captions and Timed Text SRT, VTT and burned-in subtitles with reading-speed limits and line-length rules respected, plus captions for accessibility, in your source language and your target ones. #### Multilingual Voice-Over and Dubbing Native-speaker voice recordings for apps, e-learning, adverts and explainers, timed to your video, with pronunciation guides agreed for product and brand names before recording. #### Glossaries, Style Guides and LQA A termbase and tone guide so every future release stays consistent, plus in-context linguistic quality assurance on a build you have already shipped to staging. ### Types of Localisation You Can Buy **App Localisation** iOS, Android and store listings **Website Localisation** Pages, checkout, transactional **Software Strings** JSON, XLIFF, PO, XML **Game Localisation** UI, items, dialogue **Subtitles & Captions** SRT, VTT and burned-in **Voice-Over** Native-speaker recordings **Marketing Transcreation** Ads, slogans, campaigns **Glossaries & Termbases** Consistency across releases **Style Guides** Tone and register per market **Linguistic QA** In-context review of a build **Legal & Certified Translation** Documents needing attestation **Cultural Adaptation** Imagery, names, references ### Why Buy Localisation from Zinn Hub? **Native Speakers, Named Locales** โ€” Hire for the market rather than the language: Brazilian Portuguese is not European Portuguese, and Latin American Spanish is not Castilian. Zinners are verified with government-issued photo ID and evidence of their skills and past work. **Send the File, Not a Spreadsheet of Sentences** โ€” Give the linguist your real resource file so placeholders, plural forms and variables survive. Strings pasted into a spreadsheet and pasted back are where most localisation bugs are born. **Buy Review Separately From Translation** โ€” A second native linguist reviewing the first is the single most effective quality step available, and it is sold as its own Zinn. So is in-context LQA on a staging build. **Buyer Protection** โ€” Choose a Platform Protected Zinner and Zinn Hub holds your payment until the order completes. If the delivery does not match the brief, dispute resolution steps in and any refund is credited to your Zinn Wallet in full, in USD. **Build a Glossary Once** โ€” Agree product names, feature names and terms you never translate before the first file is touched. It costs one short Zinn and it saves every release that follows. **No Agency Markup** โ€” Marketplace rates direct from the linguists themselves. Buyers pay no platform fee โ€” the price you see is the price you pay. **Reviews From Confirmed Purchases** โ€” Reviews on Zinn Hub require a confirmed purchase, so the feedback you read on accuracy and file handling came from someone who actually bought the work. **Test With a Micro Zinn First** โ€” Trial a linguist on a hundred strings as a fixed-price [website and app localisation Micro Zinn](https://zinnhub.com/micro-zinns/category/localisation/) at $5, $10, $15 or $20 before the full file. **Localisation Is a File Problem Before It Is a Language Problem** Translation converts sentences. Localisation ships a product in another market, which means placeholders that survive, plurals that follow the target languageโ€™s own rules, buttons that still fit when German runs a third longer, dates and currencies in the local convention, and a right-to-left layout that does not collapse. A perfect translation delivered as a spreadsheet can still break your build. Software teams, e-commerce brands, studios and publishers all buy the same thing here: a verified Zinner working in your actual file format to a written brief. Pair localisation with the [translation marketplace](https://zinnhub.com/translation-marketplace/) for document work, the [voice-over marketplace](https://zinnhub.com/voice-over-marketplace/) for recorded audio, or the [transcription marketplace](https://zinnhub.com/marketplaces/transcription-marketplace/) when you need a clean source script before anything is translated at all. The short answer ## What is the difference between translation and localisation? Translation converts text; localisation adapts a whole product for a market. That covers string files with placeholders and plural rules, text expansion in your layout, date, number and currency conventions, right-to-left support and cultural references. On Zinn Hub it is sold as separate Zinns โ€” strings, subtitles, voice-over, glossaries and linguistic QA โ€” from Zinners verified with photo ID and evidence of their work. Prices are set by each Zinner and shown in USD. Zinn Hub itself is available in 45 languages, and you can be messaged in 12 more. - Micro Zinns $5โ€“$20 - No buyer platform fee - Free project posting - ID- and skill-verified Zinners [Browse localisation Micro Zinns โ†’](https://zinnhub.com/micro-zinns/category/localisation/) ## ๐Ÿ”ฅ Featured Localisation Browse localisation [Zinns](https://zinnhub.com/zinns/) and the [Zinners](https://zinnhub.com/zinners/) who offer them.

Channels](https://zinnhub.com/telegram/)[Mobile App](https://zinnhub.com/app/) ## Why Buy Localisation on Zinn Hub? Shipping in another market means the strings, the layout, the formats and the culture all have to survive the journey, not just the words. ### 4.9 Average rating from 39,000+ verified-purchase reviews ### 45 Site Languages ### 100+ Payment Methods for Buyers ### 0% Platform Fee for Buyers ๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ ### Work in Your Real File Format JSON, XLIFF, PO, strings and XML handled directly, with placeholders, variables and plural forms preserved. Ask any Zinner which formats they work in before you order โ€” it is the question that prevents most rework. ๐Ÿ“ ### Text Expansion Planned For Many European languages run noticeably longer than English, and some Asian scripts run shorter but need more vertical space. Supply your character limits with the strings and ask the linguist to work inside them rather than discovering the overflow in QA. ๐Ÿ“š ### Glossary and Style Guide First Agree the terms you never translate โ€” product names, feature names, brand terms โ€” plus the register and the form of address before work starts. It is a short Zinn that pays for itself on the second release. ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ ### Buyer Protection Choose a Platform Protected Zinner and Zinn Hub holds your payment until the order completes. If the delivery does not match the brief, dispute resolution steps in and any refund is credited to your Zinn Wallet in full, in USD. ๐Ÿ” ### Independent Review and In-Context LQA A second native linguist reviewing the first catches what no self-check will. In-context LQA on a staging build catches the rest โ€” the truncations, the wrong plural, the string that reads as an instruction in one place and a label in another. โญ ### Reviews From Confirmed Purchases Reviews on Zinn Hub require a confirmed purchase. Look for feedback on file handling and on whether the linguist flagged ambiguous source strings rather than guessing at them. ๐Ÿ† ### Built by a Team That Runs a Multilingual Platform Every Day Zinn Hub itself is available in 45 languages, with 12 further languages available for messaging โ€” so placeholders, plural rules, text expansion and right-to-left layout are problems we deal with on our own product, not ones we have only read about. ## Browse Localisation Categories & Skills Find the exact deliverable your release is missing: strings, subtitles, audio, terminology or a quality pass. ### Browse Categories [Localization](https://zinnhub.com/zinns-category/writing-and-translation/localization/) [Translation](https://zinnhub.com/zinns-category/writing-and-translation/translation/) [Transcription](https://zinnhub.com/zinns-category/writing-and-translation/transcription/) [Proofreading & Editing](https://zinnhub.com/zinns-category/writing-and-translation/proofreading-and-editing/) [Subtitles & Captions](https://zinnhub.com/zinns-category/video-and-animation/subtitles-and-captions/) [Voice Over](https://zinnhub.com/zinns-category/music-and-audio/voice-over/) [View All Categories โ†’](https://zinnhub.com/categories/) ### Zinner Skills [Localization](https://zinnhub.com/zinner-skills/localization/) [App Localization](https://zinnhub.com/zinner-skills/app-localization/) [Website Localization](https://zinnhub.com/zinner-skills/website-localization/) [Game Localization](https://zinnhub.com/zinner-skills/game-localization/) [Translation](https://zinnhub.com/zinner-skills/translation/) [Subtitles](https://zinnhub.com/zinner-skills/subtitles/) [View All Zinner Skills โ†’](https://zinnhub.com/zinner-skills/) ### ๐ŸŒ Localisation by Market [๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ Spanish Localisation](https://zinnhub.com/search/spanish+localisation/?post_type=product) [๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช German Localisation](https://zinnhub.com/search/german+localisation/?post_type=product) [๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท French Localisation](https://zinnhub.com/search/french+localisation/?post_type=product) [๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต Japanese Localisation](https://zinnhub.com/search/japanese+localisation/?post_type=product) [๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท Korean Localisation](https://zinnhub.com/search/korean+localisation/?post_type=product) [๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท Brazilian Portuguese Localisation](https://zinnhub.com/search/portuguese+localisation/?post_type=product) [๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Italian Localisation](https://zinnhub.com/search/italian+localisation/?post_type=product) [๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ Chinese Localisation](https://zinnhub.com/search/chinese+localisation/?post_type=product) Many more markets available โ€” just search the territory you sell into. #### Use Zinn Finder Another way to search the marketplace for the exact deliverable you need [Try Zinn Finder](https://zinnhub.com/zinn-finder/) #### Start With a Micro Zinn Trial a linguist on a hundred strings at a fixed price before the full file [Browse Micro Zinns](https://zinnhub.com/micro-zinns/category/localisation/) Cannot find it?

Getting this wrong is the most expensive and most common error in the whole discipline, and it is invisible until a customer tells you. 2 ### Export the Real File and Supply Context Send the actual resource file with keys and comments, plus screenshots or a staging link. Browse [localisation Zinns](https://zinnhub.com/zinns-category/writing-and-translation/localization/) by format, or describe the release in [Zinn Finder](https://zinnhub.com/zinn-finder/). A string reading โ€œOpenโ€ is a verb or an adjective depending on where it sits, and only context settles it. 3 ### Agree the Glossary and the Style Before Anyone Translates List the product and feature names that are never translated, set the register and the form of address, and state your character limits. One short Zinn here removes an entire class of revision later. 4 ### Buy an Independent Review as Well as the Translation Order the review as a separate Zinn from a different native [localisation specialist](https://zinnhub.com/freelancers/skill/localisation/). Reviews on Zinn Hub require a confirmed purchase, so check what previous buyers said about how each linguist handled ambiguous source strings. 5 ### Test With a Sample, Then Do an In-Context Pass Start with a hundred strings as a fixed-price [$15 Micro Zinn](https://zinnhub.com/micro-zinns/price/15/), then commission the full file, then run LQA against a real build.

Prices are set by each Zinner and quoted in USD. Small jobs such as a store listing, a hundred UI strings or a single subtitle file are commonly sold as fixed-price Micro Zinns at $5, $10, $15 or $20. Larger string files, multi-locale releases and ongoing release support are normally quoted against your word or string count and the number of locales. Post a project free if you want several Zinners to quote on the real file. Ask before you order, because it varies by linguist and it is the single most useful screening question. Common formats include JSON, XLIFF, gettext PO, iOS strings and stringsdict, Android XML, YAML, CSV and subtitle formats such as SRT and VTT. Working in your real resource file rather than a pasted spreadsheet is what keeps placeholders, variables and plural forms intact through the round trip. Supply the character limit with each constrained string and say what happens if it is exceeded. Many European languages run meaningfully longer than English, so a button that fits at eleven characters in English may need fifteen or more in German. A good linguist will work inside a stated limit and flag any string where the constraint forces an unnatural rendering, rather than silently producing something that truncates. Yes, and you should hire for the variant rather than the language. Brazilian and European Portuguese differ in vocabulary, grammar and register; Latin American and Castilian Spanish likewise; simplified and traditional Chinese are different scripts serving different markets. State the locale in your brief and ask each Zinner which market they are native to, since it is a common source of quiet mismatch. Yes, wherever the content matters. Independent review by a second native linguist is the most effective quality step in localisation, because it catches what a self-check structurally cannot. Buy it as its own Zinn from a different Zinner, and add in-context LQA against a staging build for interface work โ€” that is what finds the truncations, the wrong plural form and the string that reads as a label in one screen and an instruction in another. Yes, and both are ordinary Zinns here. Subtitling work should respect reading-speed and line-length conventions rather than simply transcribing every word, and can be delivered as SRT, VTT or burned in. For voice-over, agree the pronunciation of product and brand names before recording rather than after, supply the video for timing, and say whether you need the raw audio as well as the mixed file. A glossary, or termbase, is the agreed list of terms and how each is handled in every target language, including the ones you never translate at all โ€” usually product names, feature names and brand terms. If you will ever ship a second release you need one, because without it two linguists working months apart will make different reasonable choices and your interface will drift. It is a short, cheap Zinn and it compounds. Yes, though marketing copy is transcreation rather than translation: the aim is the same effect in the target market, not the same sentence, and slogans frequently have to be rewritten outright. Brief it that way and give the linguist your positioning, not only the words. Browse the [website localization](https://zinnhub.com/zinner-skills/website-localization/) Zinner Skill, or pair a linguist with the [copywriting marketplace](https://zinnhub.com/copywriting-marketplace/) for campaign work.

It is also the discipline where the difference between a good supplier and a cheap one shows up months later, in support tickets rather than in the delivered file โ€” which is why how you brief it matters more than almost any other content purchase. ### Locales, Not Languages Start by writing your targets as locales. Portuguese is not a target; pt-BR and pt-PT are, and they differ in vocabulary, grammar and register enough that a Brazilian audience notices European Portuguese immediately. The same applies to Spanish across Spain and Latin America, to simplified and traditional Chinese, and to English across the UK, the US and Australia. Naming the locale up front is free. Discovering the mismatch after launch is not. ### Send the File, Not the Sentences The most reliable predictor of a painful localisation project is a spreadsheet. Exporting strings to a sheet strips the keys, the developer comments and often the placeholders, and re-importing by hand introduces errors nobody sees until runtime. Give the linguist your real resource file โ€” JSON, XLIFF, PO, strings, XML โ€” and ask them directly which formats they work in. Add screenshots or a staging URL: a string reading โ€œOpenโ€ is a verb on a button and an adjective on a status badge, and no linguist can tell which without seeing it. ### Placeholders, Plurals and Variables Interpolated values are where localisation quietly breaks. A placeholder must survive intact, and word order around it changes between languages, so the linguist needs to be free to move it. Plural rules are worse: English has two forms, several Slavic languages have three or four, and a system that only offers singular and plural will produce wrong output no matter how good the translation is. If your framework supports proper plural categories, say so; if it does not, ask the linguist to flag every string where that limitation forces an awkward rendering. ### Text Expansion, Layout and Right-to-Left Translated text rarely occupies the same space. German and Finnish commonly run longer than English, some Asian scripts run shorter horizontally but need more line height, and right-to-left languages such as Arabic and Hebrew require the whole layout to mirror rather than merely the text to flip. Supply character limits with constrained strings, and test the longest locale rather than the first one. Note that Arabic and Hebrew are messaging languages on Zinn Hub rather than site browse languages โ€” but your own product can of course ship in any locale you choose. ### Glossaries and Style Guides Compound The single highest-return small purchase in localisation is a glossary agreed before anyone translates a word. It lists your product names, feature names and technical terms, states which are never translated, and fixes the target-language rendering of the rest. Add a short style guide covering register, form of address and how you handle humour and idiom. Two competent linguists working six months apart will otherwise make different reasonable decisions, and your interface will slowly stop sounding like one product. ### Review, LQA and the Order to Buy Them In Translation, independent review and in-context LQA are three separate purchases and they catch three different classes of problem. Review is another native linguist checking accuracy and tone against the source. LQA happens against a real build and catches everything the file could never show โ€” truncation, the wrong plural, a string reused in two contexts where only one rendering works. For interface and marketing content, buy all three. For low-stakes internal text, translation alone is a reasonable economy. ### Media: Subtitles, Captions and Voice Subtitling is editing as much as translating. Reading-speed limits, line lengths and shot changes all constrain what can appear, so a subtitle that reproduces every spoken word is usually a bad subtitle. Decide whether you need translated subtitles, same-language captions for accessibility, or both. For voice-over, agree pronunciation of product and brand names before the session, supply the video so delivery can be timed, and say whether you want the raw takes as well as the mix. Get a clean source transcript first from the [transcription Micro Zinns](https://zinnhub.com/micro-zinns/category/transcription-translation/) โ€” translating a rough auto-transcript propagates every error into every language. ### Getting Started on Zinn Hub Work in the order that protects your release. Agree the glossary, trial a linguist on a hundred strings as a fixed-price Micro Zinn at $5 to $20, commission the full file, buy an independent review from a different Zinner, then run LQA against a build. Compare quotes in USD with no buyer-side platform fee, and post a project free if you would rather have linguists quote against your real file. First-time buyers get their first order free, with the full amount returned on completion. For documents that need attestation see the [legal and certified translation Micro Zinns](https://zinnhub.com/micro-zinns/category/certified-translation/), and for recorded audio pair your linguist with the [voice-over marketplace](https://zinnhub.com/voice-over-marketplace/).
