Our philosophy

Alpha was founded to realize a vision of how software and documentation should be localized: as a co-operative effort between all the disciplines needed to produce a successful linguistic and cultural adaptation, by subject specialists. That vision continues to inspire Alpha's philosophy in everything we do.

All-in-one

Alpha CRC was founded in 1987 to provide a complete localization solution with all its service offerings in-house. This 'all-in-one' philosophy, and very successful growth as a privately owned company, has led to Alpha CRC becoming one of the most trusted and largest providers of localization services in the world. Our in-house teams ensure a consistent approach and faster turnaround times for our clients.

Quality

Quality of translation has always been Alpha's hallmark, and we believe that no compromise should be made in this respect. Our translators are selected carefully and take great pride in their work. At the same time, we are constantly aware of our clients' budgetary and time constraints. Balancing these sometimes conflicting objectives while ensuring the highest quality is Alpha's speciality.

Global coverage

We serve our clients around the world. Alpha CRC now covers 8 countries on 4 continents with a total of 12 offices. Our in-house, in-country production centres in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Brazil, China all offer linguist and project management services.

Competitive pricing

Our pricing is highly competitive and our costing methods are transparent. We offer detailed quotations, with costs fixed up front, keeping projects within the assigned budget. We aim to be the lowest-priced, credible localization solution in the world.

Technology

Alpha CRC believes that technology combined with thorough processes can achieve the best results. Alpha has therefore consistently invested in the most powerful and up-to-date technology available, from CAT Tools covering all aspects of software, help, documentation and on-line material to complex Global Management Systems (SDL WorldServer, SDL TMS and Across Language Server) in order both to support our clients' production models and offer powerful hosted solutions.
