Website translations
How do I translate a website?
Do you need to localize your website for foreign customers? Or on the contrary, localize a foreign website to your home country? In any case, it is essential to have professionals dedicated to translation and website localization.
Often in translations mistakes like “I’ll just throw it into the translator and be done with it” occur. This option often backfires on you. Word-for-word translation or loss of meaning in translation is almost guaranteed this way. The only way to successfully localize and translate your website is to have it translated by a native speaker or an experienced translator who does this for a living. This is the only way to be competitive in a foreign market.
We have extensive experience in website translation, having localized complete websites and e-shops for our clients as they expanded into foreign markets.
When translating a website, it is necessary to take care of the translation of all invisible parts of the website. All the metadata and other elements make the difference when searching for in Google in foreign markets. That is how the customer will know if it is a local company or a company from abroad. After all, you are translating and localizing your website to make sure that your website is as strong in the foreign market as it is in the domestic market.

1. Preparation
After the initial contact, we will discuss together who the site targets, what market and who the end customer is. We will also discuss what your marketing strategy is.
Next, you decide whether you want to translate only the visible part of the website or also the invisible part (which is recommended).
2. Translation
Whether you choose to have a complete translation or just the visible part of the website, a professional translator will get to work. They will first review and analyse all texts.
Furthermore, all texts will be translated and localised for the target market. The texts will be adapted according to the cultural specifics and established traditions of the country.
3. Proofreading
We always recommend proofreading when translating web sites. A proofreader will edit the stylistics and grammar and detect even the slightest error. Your web presentation will therefore be perfect.
What do we focus on?
HTML translation
“Translating text with HTML encoding”
Translation of texts with HTML coding is no problem for us, thanks to the use of appropriate tools you do not have to worry that someone will delete part of the code and the exported files will not be able to be implemented without a time consuming repair.
PHP translation

As in the case of HTML, we have no problem translating texts with PHP coding. We already have a lot of experience with PHP translations, and thanks to high-quality translation tools, the code will not get corrupted.
