Why is it important to translate my website?

Translating 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.

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

Start by thinking about which markets you want to target with your translated 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 translation 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.
