FAQ
Q
What do you exactly provide in the localization track?
A
Parfield was the 1st localization company in the region to provide a new definition of Android localization. For several years we did for Arabization what Google did not do. Our solution will not end up just providing and connecting the Arabic Characters and mirroring your screen (RTL) but will handle other options like Correct Arabic Sorting, Arabic numerals and Arabic Date formats and Arabic Date names…etc.
Q
In what languages do you provide your localization services? and for what operating systems?
A
We have a range of products and business streams around mobile technology that covers Arabic, Hebrew, Persian & Urdu localization services for Android, Windows Mobile, Apple iOS, Linux.
Q
Google provides native Arabic Support in Android 4. Does this end what Parfield is famous for?
A
No. The Arabic support in Android 4 is very "Basic". It misses a lot of Arabic features that we fill with our localiztion solution for Android 4. On top of it is the mirroring (RTL layout) among several other features. That is why top international icons among the mobile makers still depend on our solution even after the release of Android 4 with its Arabic support.
Q
Do you have a very good clients profile?
A
We have a successful track record of delivering the most up to the minute solutions to several international "icons" around the world of mobile business (most within the first Fortune 500). For example, near a million of HTC mobiles and tablets with Arabic support were Arabized using our solution since they added the Arabic localization to their Android sets. Also, all the new Mercedes Benz navigation systems for all the Middle East cars use our solution. We also have several other clients like Microsoft, I-Mate, Yakoya, Bury.....etc.
Q
Do you provide your Arabization to end users?
A
Due to Android nature, Working on arabizing any set requires working on the ROM itself. That is why there is no reliable application in the market for end users. So, for mobile manufacturers, having an Arabic solution inside your mobile's ROM is a big advantage as it is very important function for Arab users. From our Android market store we noticed that most visitors are using Samsung and HTC (Both have Arabic in their ROM). Millions of HTC mobiles/tablets use Parfield Arabization.
