This is what characterises professional localisation of websites and technical translations

Our translators are both native-speaking professionals and experts in a subject area. Both are crucial for the professional localisation of websites and technical translations, because only this way can you ensure that your corporate and marketing communications in each language version take into account the cultural practices of a country, as well as its traditions and values. This way, you avoid misinterpretations or even linguistic and cultural indiscretions. To guarantee an accurate and effective translation, our specialist translators are qualified to degree level and have at least five years’ professional experience. With the localisation of websites and technical translations, you’ll also benefit from our four-eye principle. We also localise and revise your websites and specialist texts in accordance with ISO 17100.

Localisation of websites, e-learning, and e-commerce platforms

Literal word-for-word translation isn’t enough when localising websites, e-learning, and e-commerce platforms. In addition to the linguistically accurate translation, the international and local conditions of the respective target country need to be considered. In addition to date, time, currency, and measurement information, localisation also includes reading direction, geographic and cultural practices, as well as search and browsing behaviour. Equally different are individual search terms or keywords, which are crucial for a good search engine (SE) ranking, especially for search engine-optimised content.

That’s why we collaborate with native-speaking translation professionals when localising websites, e-learning, and e-commerce platforms. During localisation, they focus in on wording, so that your website is also easy to find internationally.

Frequently Asked Questions about website localisation

Why is it important to localise my website?

Localising your website allows you to target a global audience and reach potential customers in multiple countries. A translated website improves the user experience for visitors who are native speakers of other languages, enhances the credibility of your organisation and helps to grow your international business.

How long will it take to localise my website?

Localisation turnaround times depend on the amount of content and the target languages requested. Simply contact us for a non-binding quote.

What is the first step if I want to have my website localised?

Start by thinking about which markets you want to target with your localised website and by when you need the translations. The next step is to contact us, providing this information and a link to your current website. We’ll then be happy to discuss the rest of the process with you directly.

What does 'localisation' mean, and how does it differ from normal translation?

Localisation is the process of adapting your website to meet the linguistic and cultural requirements of the target market. While normal translation essentially consists of converting text from one language to another, localisation involves additional steps such as modifying graphics, layout, currencies, units of measurement, colours, cultural references and even functionalities. This ensures that your website is as authentic, user-friendly and relevant as possible to your target audience.

Do I need any technical knowledge to have my website translated?

Technical knowledge isn’t essential, but it can be useful, especially if your website contains complex features, specific layouts or interactive elements. As a qualified translation service provider with experience in website translation, we can help you to take all the technical factors into account to ensure that the translation and localisation process runs smoothly.

Which CMSs and back ends are suitable for the localisation process?

Most content management systems (CMSs) offer functions or plug-ins that can be used to translate and localise websites with minimal complexity. The most common CMS platforms that support translations include WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Shopify and TYPO3. But even if you use a different CMS, we’ll still be happy to translate your website for you.

What happens if I want to make changes or additions to my localised website?

If you would like to make changes to your localised website, you can contact us directly. We’ll be happy to make the changes for you. It’s important that you keep your website up to date in all languages so that the content remains relevant to all target markets.
