Web site translation and localization - Your Key to Globalization
 |
Developing a multilingual web site is the best way to reach foreign markets and increase
your international sales. Web site translation and localization are very cost effective methods
of expanding your markets. One of the biggest challenges this creates is getting your company
web site localized (globalized) to effectively advertise your company's product and/or services
to the non-English speaking communities locally, nationally and globally.

Localization in reference to web site is usually broken down into two parts:
Web localization
Usually refers to the process of adapting a web site into
another language(s), and/or software and the cultural
needs of your target audience, including graphics, photos,
measurements, time issues, financial references, etc.
Mirroring a foreign language
This is translating, some or all of the text information
into another language(s), which may include the home page, contact
information, location, etc.
