What is Website Translation & Localisation?
Website localization is the process of modifying an existing website to make it accessible, usable and culturally suitable to a new target audience. For example, taking an English US focused website and modifying it for a Chinese audience. Part of this process involves the translation of the content. At Kwintessential we assist companies going global by helping them with their website translation projects. Although website translation is in essence similar to normal translation work as it deals with words, sentences and language, it does bring different challenges that need to be considered properly. This is due to the combination of linguistic, visual, technical and financial factors.
