Website Translation

It is very important to highlight that website translation is a service that involves much more than translation itself, as a website requires something more than just translation: it requires localisation.

The translator adapts the content of the website to the markets it is aimed at. It is not a simple translation of content, but instead requires understanding the browsing experience and objectives of the website translation itself.

At Word Works, we regularly manage website translation projects, and have a large team of specialised translators and technicians.

Specialised translation companies and agencies like Word Works have teams of professional translators specialised in different areas, including the translation of websites.

These translators have experience in the translation of web content and are familiarised with the technical and linguistic aspects required for an accurate and effective translation.

The translation of websites requires taking a series of specific considerations into account. Firstly, it is important to proceed on the basis that websites usually have a specific format and design, therefore the translation must be adapted to the structure of the original site.

This involves paying attention to browsing menus, action buttons, links and images, among other elements.

Another important aspect is the localisation of content. The translation of websites must be adapted to the linguistic characteristics of the target market, which includes the conversion of currencies, units of measurement and specific cultural references.

Aspects such as the direction of writing, the selection of keywords and limitation of characters must also be considered.

Linguistic and format differences must also be considered, such as the direction of writing and selection of the appropriate typography.
