Cost-effective website translation
Website
translation is one of the most cost-effective methods used today to
reach international markets. While it is true that English is one of
the most prevalent second languages, and people in many lands read and
understand English, cultural differences can lead to misunderstandings
that interfere with your message. Also, people feel more comfortable
buying your products and services if you speak to them in their own
language. Just think about how convenient it is for them!
Partial or complete website translation
Many
companies and organizations have already realized the benefits of
translating their websites, partly or entirely. While we recommend the translation of the entire website,
you may decide to translate only core pages on which you highlight your
international offerings. Choosing key pages to translate may be an
alternative solution that suits your needs.
Our website translation approach
In order to proceed with the translation of your website,
we generally adopt one of the following two approaches. The content to
be translated can either be sent to us with all encoding or markup
languages removed (.txt, .doc, .rtf), or we can proceed directly with
the translation of the sources files (.asp, .htm(l), .php, .xml, java
and many more). In the latter case, we will download your site, perform
a word count and send you the details so that you can accept the word
count or delete unnecessary files. We can then confirm our final price.
Website translation in the source code or in Word format?
We
will gladly translate text from source code if you wish. However,
please note that we must request a 20% surcharge compared to
translation into simple text, since the translation process is slower
and a quality audit is required.
Graphical elements
Regarding
the translation of your graphical elements (.jpg, .gif, .png, Flash,
Illustrator, Director), we can either provide you a translation in an
Excel spreadsheet so that you can localize the content in-house, or let
us handle the job through an external webmaster or DTP (desktop
publishing) specialist. If you prefer that we take care of this task,
simply send us your source files (.psd, .fla, ai, png, etc.) and we
will ensure that all your graphics files are adapted correctly.
