With mobile technology becoming more popular and more accepted with the passing of days, market analysts are conducting surveys as to which tool is the most commonly used among mobile consumers worldwide. According to a survey conducted towards the end of 2011, there are more than 325 million people around the world who have access to a mobile device and who install mobile apps in their devices to complete daily work. The use of mobile devices running the latest apps has become so popular worldwide that most enterprises, irrespective of size & services delivered, are deploying the services of app development companies so as to make use of the technology provided by mobile apps.

The survey also points out the fact that more than half of worldwide citizens who do online shopping use a variety of mobile apps to purchase products. These apps can be preinstalled in a mobile device or downloaded by the user. Generally, every mobile app that has advanced features is a paid app; users have to download the app software from a website or app store before installing it in a device.

Needless to say, with the advancement of technology, the characteristics of mobile apps are also fast changing. For instance, a new phenomenon that has emerged in the world of mobile app technology is translation of applications. This procedure not only requires prior experience for being conducted successfully, but also good skills. However, for most enterprises, availability of resources to be spent behind mobile technology may become a constraint. Google Translation is a very popular software service that is in use today for assisting individual designers and app development companies to translate mobile applications. The reason why translation is becoming one of the major development tactics of app designers is to help businesses reach out to a wider global audience. For instance, a mobile app designed in Spain may use a dialect exclusive to that area. Though the app is useful to businesses operating outside Spain, they may not be able to use it only because of the fact that their target audience base does not understand Spanish. In this scenario, the translation instrument helps to make a mobile application popular among a larger number of users, thereby making it the most commonly used tool in the world of present day technology. However, while using the translation instrument, an app developer must remember not to opt for word to word translations. Just conveying an idea of the main features and the working procedure of a mobile app to its target audience is enough to attract their attention; translating every word incorporated in the original app may not convey its true utility to the mobile audience. Moreover, mobile translation must be concise so that the new language fits into the existing app structure. The reason why an enterprise must pay attention to translation techniques is because of the fact that mobile apps are used as mediums of profit generating equipments for every business. If translation of mobile apps is not accurate or viable, it may lead to users no longer using the app for future business interactions.

Mobile applications are undoubtedly the leading technological advancement that the present world has seen. If necessary resources & the target customers for the app have been decided by an enterprise, the demand for the mobile app will increase among customers worldwide.
