Basque localization is the process of adapting the language, appearance, and functionality of a product or website for Basque-speaking regions in Spain and France. Basque presents a variety of unique challenges to Basque-speaking localization professionals.

To ensure a positive reception of your software, website and documentation, it is a good idea to work with an experienced localization company.
