Localizing the Internet of Things: IoT Translation Services
CSOFT’s IoT translations and global communication solutions help manufacturers place Internet of Things products at the top of international markets
As the Internet of Things (IoT) becomes part of everyday life, IoT translations for software-enabled appliances and devices have become a high-demand communication asset enabling consumers around the world access and operate these technologies in their preferred user languages. IoT is defined as the use of software to connect everyday objects in new ways, enabling sensors to send and receive data individually or as part of an array of connected devices. With strong consumer appeal and a growing ecosystem of interoperable devices, for example in smart home settings, IoT is a rapidly growing industry that experts predict will impact virtually every facet of the social and technological landscape over the coming decade. Moreover, AI continues to advance in astonishing ways that continue to drive new applications in IoT, making translation and localization essential to both the conception as well as rollout and active use of these IoT products worldwide.
With a global network of 10,000+ in-country linguists and subject matter experts worldwide, and with customized communication solutions for all stages of the IoT product development and marketing cycle, CSOFT can help innovative IoT solutions reach consumers across borders and language barriers through targeted localization and content consulting services. We can localize a full range of IoT device types and products, for scenarios including:
- IoT wearables translations (e.g., smart band and smart watch translations)
- IoT home appliance translations (e.g., smart fridge, smart lighting, and home security translations)
- Voice assistant translations
- IoT medical device and implant translations (e.g., home diagnostics, smart pacemaker translations)
- IoT AR/VR device translations
- IoT industrial automation equipment translations
- Commercial IoT translations (e.g., logistics and transport monitoring system translations)
- Military IoT application translations
With coverage in over 250 languages, CSOFT is well equipped to help companies navigating the complexities of hardware-software IoT applications localize their products for consumers in all corners of the global market.
Consumer IoT Translations
From connected smart home devices and personal robotic assistants to cloud-powered electric vehicles, Consumer IoT (CIoT) products are one of the most vibrant segments of the smart device market. With the ability to learn from big data analysis and AI to provide a truly personal and convenient experience, smart home devices are expected to become ever more integrated into the fabric of domestic consumption in the coming decade. CSOFT’s consumer Internet of Things translations can help technology providers reach consumers with more intelligent devices and user experiences on a global scale by delivering these smart technologies in the languages required for target markets.
From a localization perspective, IoT translations require a unique understanding of both the technology underlying the Internet of things and its specific application scenarios, from healthcare to manufacturing and production. For example, translating a medical device interface or software tool requires a strong familiarity with medical products and local patient engagement needs in world markets. Meanwhile, as IoT edge devices and nodes tend to integrate with a growing number of software applications through 5G networks, the mandate for intuitive and localized user experiences will establish software localization as a top priority for developers seeking global market entry for their products, alongside translated technical documentation.

Industrial IoT Translations
Industrial IoT (IIOT) encompasses a wide range of next-generation industrial equipment designed for digital transformation, and is considered one of the fastest growing sectors of the IoT industry at large. Typical IIoT technologies include connected manufacturing, self-learning robotics and the Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT), and augmented reality (AR), utilizing a combination of AI, 5G, cloud technology, and big data centers to optimize industrial sectors that include mining, manufacturing, construction, energy distribution, and virtually all of the automotive manufacturing supply chain.
CSOFT can help IIOT technology providers globalize their products for industrial markets around the world through targeted IIOT translations. Learn more about CSOFT’s end-to-end industrial translation services.
Healthcare IoT and The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) Translations
Increasingly, modern telemedicine applications rely on healthcare IoT and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) technologies such as connected medical devices to gather real-world data and monitor patient outcomes. This can help furnish better pathological insights, as well as more effective remote diagnostics. IoT medical devices can also improve patients’ experiences while enabling more flexible methods of administering professional care by allowing patients to transmit and receive information at home or while on the move. In addition to translating smart devices for the in-home care industry, CSOFT delivers solutions for medical IoT device manufacturers as CSOFT’s IoT and Health Science subject matter experts can provide high quality healthcare IoT translations enabling access in new markets around the world.
