What’s the difference between website translation and website localisation?
Although this can be referred to as the same thing there is a difference. Website translation provides your website visitors with the most essential information in their language, but localisation goes beyond straightforward translation, and takes into account other factors that will influence your target audience, such as style, design and imagery.
Depending on the languages you wish to translate into, it may be necessary to adjust elements of your website, such as time, date and currency formats, as well as reversal of page layouts for right-to-left reading for languages such as Hebrew and Arabic.
How do I translate my website?
Depending on the set up of your website will depend on the best solution for you. One method is to use website translation proxy which is beneficial if your business updates online content regularly and need the translations to be completed quickly. Alternatively you can download your XML or HTML content files for our linguists to edit.

Multilingual SEO
Localising your website without multilingual SEO in mind could mean that your global website performance is struggling, because your international customers can’t find you.
Using localised keywords appropriate to your target market, and creating content in your target languages will help to maximise your global web presence.
