Localization is the process of converting the design and content of a website to make it culturally appropriate for a foreign market.

Visitor confidence is critical, your site needs to look, sound and feel right.

What does website translation involve?

There are several aspects to localization and website translation, e.g.:

• Multiple currency transactions
• Local search engines and directories
• Foreign addresses and contacts
• International sales taxes
• Political, religious and cultural issues and connotations
• Customs regulations and tariffs when shipping products overseas
• Use of imagery and colors

Where do I start?

The Strategic Approach to Localization is specially created for testing a micro-site in different languages.  This is a great way to test your international potential.

Every organization is different, but from our experience, the the key to success is to consider:

• Which products will be sold to which markets?
• What procedures apply for authoring and publishing content?
• How will we handle communication from non-English customers?
• How will the website be promoted?

Contact a member of the Web-Translations team let us assist you with these challenges.
