Website translation and localisation — Translation agency
A website may have translated headings but still contain untranslated forms, messages or offers that do not fit the target reader. Provide the content inventory, target locales and a preview environment so the translator can see context and distinguish copy adaptation from technical implementation.
Service scope
Translation of website content for specified language and market versions, including terminology, interface text and contextual adaptation where agreed. Content translation is separate from multilingual architecture, software implementation and a claim that the whole website has been technically localised.
What is normally included
- Website content translation
- Locale terminology review
- Interface and navigation wording
- In-context language review
What is not included
- Automatic multilingual development
- Unapproved changes to canonical routes
- Invented local business facts
Typical tasks
- Map the content to translate
- Confirm target language variants
- Build a shared terminology list
- Translate page and interface text
- Review the result in its website context
What to include in your brief
- Website and content inventory
- Target locales
- CMS or export format
- Existing terminology
- Preview access and implementation owner
Choosing the right professional
Ask whether navigation, forms, error messages and reusable components are included as well as page prose. Confirm who controls URLs and language routing, and require in-context review rather than assuming a spreadsheet of translated strings proves the live website works.
Important considerations
- Short interface strings can be ambiguous without context
- Translated text may not fit the layout
- Local offers or legal statements may need separate review
