Approach taken with website translations
Our approach ensures that your website will be translated in an efficient and professional manner:
Requirements analysis
At the beginning of our translation process, we will analyse your requirements in detail. You tell us which parts of your site are to be translated and into which target languages you wish the content to be translated.
Content extraction
Relevant content is extracted from the website using an export plug-in and saved in XLIFF format in order to be seamlessly transferred into the system after translation.
Translation
Our experienced translators work to ensure that your website content is translated into the target language accurately and in an appealing manner. We pay attention to cultural nuances and the use of industry-specific vocabulary. This is how we ensure that your message is correctly understood.
Integration
As soon as the texts are translated, you will receive them conveniently by e-mail. The text files usually have the formats XLIFF, PO or XML, so they can be imported directly. If required, the file transfer and processing can be automated owing to the connection of our API.
Content management systems, formats, and files
As a full-service provider of translation services, we cover a wide range of systems, formats and files. Whether you are a shop operator or your website is based on WordPress, TYPO3 or another system – we have the right solution for you.
We offer an efficient translation solution for various file formats.
These include, inter alia ".docx", ".txt", ".xlsx", ".csv", ".po", ".xml", ".xliff", ".html", "js".
Is your file format not included? Just ask us!
Our API interface also enables direct communication between your CMS and our customer portal portal4client™, as the API is connected to it. This enables an automated exchange of information and eliminates the time-consuming manual import and export of texts.
For your information: XLIFF is a common format for translation tools designed specifically to standardise the exchange of localisable data between different tools during translation and localisation. XLIFF stands for XML Localization Interchange File Format.
Have a WordPress website translated
More than 40% of all websites worldwide are based on WordPress. We offer comprehensive services for the translation and localisation of your WordPress website. We use specialised plug-ins and tools to ensure that your multilingual website functions smoothly and performs optimally.
Have a TYPO3 website translated
TYPO3 offers flexibility and is ideal for complex websites. It is perfectly suitable for the creation and management of scalable, multilingual websites. Multilingual content can be neatly managed out of the box in the TYPO3 environment. Our experts are very familiar with the special features of TYPO3 and ensure that your translations are seamlessly integrated into the system.
In TYPO3 translation with KERN, the content is exported to XML by means of an extension. It is then efficiently translated and re-imported into TYPO3 using the appropriate localisation tools. This ensures that the entire translation process is cost and time-efficient.
Have a webshop translated
With a multilingual webshop you can better market your products internationally. We not only translate product descriptions, category pages and the menu, but also adapt the general terms and conditions as well as payment and shipping options to the respective markets.
If desired, the initial translation can be automated to ensure speed and cost efficiency. This will then be checked by qualified translators as part of the post-editing process and adjusted if necessary. This combination of machine translation and human post-editing is particularly beneficial for websites with similar texts or texts that are frequently updated.
Website translation specifics
Professional website translation is critically important for companies that operate internationally. It allows for expansion across national borders.
Website localisation
Your localised website should not only be free of errors linguistically, but should also address the cultural and emotional needs of local consumers. This promotes a positive user experience and increases the target audience's trust in your company.
Localisation also requires the adaptation of currencies, prices and payment methods to meet local market standards. Shipping and return policies must be adapted to local laws and expectations. The graphical design of the website may also vary in order to accommodate cultural and aesthetic preferences.
At a time when having an excellent online presence is critical, a localised website is the key to international success. It is not only a sign of respect for different cultures, but is also an investment in sustainable growth and means global visibility for every company.
We advise you on your target audience and your marketing concept and work with you to develop an internationalisation strategy. At the same time, KERN UK Ltd. takes over the linguistic, cultural and technical adaptation of your website to match the realities of the target countries.
