Website Translation & Website Localization

When it comes to large scale customer-facing website translation initiatives, there is no firm that can match the breadth and depth of Translations.com's experience. Simply put, website localization, and website translation is exactly what we do all day, every day. Melding the sciences of workflow and technology with the art of on-brand linguistic and cultural adaptation has been the foundation of our success.

We strongly believe that no two clients are the same and that the solutions we put forward should reflect that. We are technology agnostic and take a consultative approach to scoping, mapping and executing our client's website translation and localization projects. That said, there are some general methodologies that we apply to each website translation project that allow us to guarantee successf. They are as follows:

The Language Process: Defining the Brand and how to Represent it Globally

In order to guarantee that Translations.com consistently delivers the level of language that our clients need, on the front end of an engagement we focus on the creation of glossaries, style guides, brand guides and samples (from our proposed linguistic teams) that, once signed-off by our client's in-country reviewers, act as a road map for all website translation work going forward. Furthermore, we have a detailed web content adaptation methodology that involves three separate, native speaking, vertically focused linguists. Following is a breakdown of each step in that process:

• Glossaries
• Style Guides
• Brand Identity Guides
• Sampling
• Translation, Editing and Proofreading

The Project Process: A Formula For Client Success

In large, complex website translation projects, delivering perfect, highly branded content is not enough. At Translations.com, we understand that the success or failure of a project is dependant on a number of additional factors. Following is a breakdown of what we believe to be the key components of a successful website translation project and an explanation of our process to manage those components:

• Site Design Consultation for Optimized Localization
• Pulling Together the Team
• Detailed Project Plan
• Technology Review and Architecting the Workflow
• Coordination of In-Country Client Review
• Site Maintenance Consultation Plan

The Results:

It is worth noting that the organization of the steps described above can be challenging tasks and require time and effort by Translations.com, the client and their interactive partners. However, it has been our experience that the investment of that time and effort pays huge dividends in efficiencies, improved communication, and high-quality deliverables during the course of a relationship and results in the following:

• On-time and on-budget delivery
• Target language sites that meet brand/style guidelines and are error free
• A steady state site maintenance plan prior to launch of live site

We can put our experience to work for your organization to drive results. But don't take our word for it. Feel free to contact one of website translation customers who have worked with us and offered to act as a reference.
