Fit guide

Multilingual production without adopting a full localization stack.

Arkian helps developers, small teams, agencies, creators, and businesses turn approved source content into usable multilingual output: strings, metadata, scripts, voice files, and organized packages. It is not a CAT/TMS replacement. It is a focused production layer for jobs where enterprise localization infrastructure is more than the work requires.

Where it fits

For clear jobs that need usable multilingual assets.

Arkian fits when the customer already knows the content they need to produce and wants organized multilingual files they can inspect, review, and use in their own system.

Before Arkian
  • Enterprise localization tools feel too large for the job.
  • Separate tools are needed for strings, metadata, scripts, audio, and packaging.
  • The customer still wants control over review and final use.
With Arkian
  • The job is scoped before it starts.
  • Arkian returns the selected multilingual outputs as an organized package.
  • The customer reviews the files and uses them where they fit.
Production outputs

Multilingual assets organized for review.

The customer brings approved source content. Arkian returns files organized for review, delivery, or release support.

The package is the handoff.

Arkian keeps the output inspectable: named files, selected formats, language folders, and package context.

Common jobs

For clear jobs that do not need a full localization stack.

Arkian can support apps, websites, voice prompts, kiosks, onboarding, support content, and other systems that need multilingual assets without a full CAT/TMS workflow.

Product builders

Localized app strings, metadata, help copy, release assets, and product-language files without connecting a repo.

Content teams

Approved scripts, articles, lessons, podcasts, and explainers turned into multilingual text, metadata, and voice files.

Small agencies

Client-ready multilingual packages without standing up a CAT/TMS, voice stack, metadata process, and file-prep workflow.

Customer-facing systems

IVR, voicemail, kiosks, SCO, EPOS, onboarding screens, support prompts, and other systems that need consistent copy or audio.

Operational teams

One focused multilingual job done cleanly: approved source in, structured output out, customer review stays in control.

Why it works

More than raw translation.

Translation is one part. Arkian adds the structure around it: formats, folders, metadata, scripts, voice files, naming, and delivery-ready packages.

No repo access required.

No runtime code changes required.

Outputs include JSON, TypeScript, iOS .strings, Android XML, YAML, structured metadata, MP3, and WAV.

Quiet Harbour uses Arkian-generated multilingual assets in a shipped product experience.

FAQ

Questions customers may have.

Is Arkian a CAT or TMS replacement?

No. Arkian prepares structured multilingual outputs from approved source content. Mature CAT/TMS platforms remain the better fit for translation memory, terminology governance, reviewer routing, and Git-native localization operations.

Does Arkian need repository access?

No. Arkian creates packages and files. The customer keeps their product, repository, CMS, IVR system, kiosk platform, or content system under their own control.

What does Arkian actually solve?

Arkian compresses the production work between approved source content and usable multilingual assets: strings, metadata, scripts, voice files, naming, folder structure, and downloadable packages.
