Crossing borders with your website

If you are marketing your products or services internationally, a good starting point is the localisation of your website into those languages used in the target market.

International websites allow greater and easier access to your products and services for those living and working in that area. It is important that the website is not only translated, but also localised in the following ways:

• Texts must be translated and localised so that the language used is typical of the target market.
• Web interfaces  like metatags, link-texts und ALT tags should be adapted for easier use (resulting in more sales!).
• Adapting graphics is also part of the localisation process.

What is the localisation process for website translation?

Basically, it works like this:

• Depending on the CMS that you are using, a file is exported (probably using a translation management plugin or CMS feature)
• This file is imported into our CAT tool system.
• After accepting our offer, we then translate the file into the target language (including all texts, interfaces etc.)
• This is exported out of our CAT system and provided to you
• You (or probably your IT department) then import the content into the target site.
