Website Localization
In today’s Internet-driven age, multilingual company websites are becoming the international standard. Ensuring that a website is internationalized appropriately often calls for major adaptation of existing HTML files, Flash animation, graphic files, scripts, and other features. Our website localization process ensures that information and codes (character sets, date, time, currency, and number formats, contact information, colors and text alignment, etc.) meet the expectations of your international target group.
More complex websites are often based on a content management system (CMS) such as Typo3, Contenido, Joomla, Modx, etc., which can only be adjusted online. In these cases, we mainly use CMS extraction tools to help us manage the quality assurance process.
The following items must be considered and processed during any website localization project:
- Text in script files (such as Java or ASP scripts)
- Adaptation of FAQs and help files
- Creation of hyperlinks in the target language as in the source language
- Special characters and fonts used in the target language must display correctly
- Layout and fonts must be checked across all the widely used browsers
- Text in buttons and graphics must be edited and prepared
Our website localization specialists typically work directly in the HTML files, except with CMS websites. This eliminates lengthy, labor-intensive insertion of translated text and reformatting of files. The websites are then ready to upload right away.
We can provide regular maintenance, changes, and additions to websites with the use of translation memory tools.
