The problem

A translated site isn’t the same as a localized one

Visitors notice the gaps that translation alone leaves behind. Each one costs you trust, sign-ups, and sales.

The same date, two readers

Translated03/04/2026A reader in Mexico sees April 3

Localized4 de marzo de 2026Exactly what you meant: March 4

One missed detail is enough to make a visitor doubt a payment date, a deadline, or a price. Here is where else translation alone falls short.

  1. Half-translated menusNavigation and footers built into templates are skipped.

    Translated only: ProductsLocalized: Productos

  2. Text that breaks the layoutSpanish runs longer than English. Buttons overflow on mobile.

    Translated only: Solicitar una demostración gratuitaLocalized: Pedir una demo

  3. Dates, numbers, and currency03/04 is March 4 in the U.S. and April 3 in most of the world.

    Translated only: 03/04/2026Localized: 4 de marzo de 2026

  4. Words trapped in imagesBanners still speak English after the page is translated.

    Translated only: SUMMER SALELocalized: REBAJAS DE VERANO

  5. English error messagesA visitor fills in a Spanish form, then gets an English error.

    Translated only: This field is required.Localized: Este campo es obligatorio.

  6. Invisible to local searchWithout translated metadata and hreflang, Google shows the English page.

What we localize

Every part of your site, in every language

Localization covers far more than the pages in your menu. We map your whole site first, so nothing is left in English by accident.

What visitors see in your menu

Usually translated
  • Pages and navigationHome, product and service pages, menus, footers
  • Blog and resourcesArticles, guides, downloadable PDFs
  • Help center and FAQsKnowledge bases, support articles, chatbot replies

What translation-only projects miss

  • Forms and checkoutSign-up, applications, payments, validation messages
  • Legal and policy pagesTerms, privacy, accessibility and nondiscrimination notices
  • Emails and notificationsConfirmations, receipts, password resets, alerts
  • Images and videoText in graphics, captions, subtitles, voiceover
  • SEO metadataTitles, descriptions, alt text, URLs, structured data

Integration

Connected the way your site is built

Three ways to plug localization into your website. We recommend one after reviewing your platform, your languages, and how often your content changes.

Translation proxy

We serve translated versions of your site from our platform, in front of your existing site. New and changed content is detected and sent for translation.

Best when
You need many languages quickly, or developer time is scarce
Your team’s part
Point a subfolder or subdomain to the proxy

CMS connector

Content moves between your content management system and our translation workflow, so localized pages live in your CMS beside the originals.

Best when
Your team manages content in a CMS and wants to keep full control of it
Your team’s part
Install and configure the connector once

File-based exchange

Your developers export content as XLIFF, JSON, PO, or HTML files. We return translated files ready to import.

Best when
Custom-built sites, web apps, or strict security reviews
Your team’s part
Export and import with each release

Not sure which fits? Book a free site review. We look at your platform and content, then recommend the approach with the least work for your team.

Smart budgeting

Match the method to the page

Not every page needs the same treatment. Spending where it matters keeps quality high and cost under control.

  1. Help center and knowledge base

  2. Product and service pages

    Accuracy and brand voice decide whether visitors trust you.

  3. Legal, policy, and compliance pages

    Human translation by legal specialists

    Every term carries obligations, so nothing is left to a machine.

  4. Homepage and campaign pages

Multilingual SEO

Multilingual SEO that gets you found in every language

A localized page only pays off if people can find it. We build multilingual SEO into every page we translate.

  • Keyword research in each languageWe localize for the words people actually search, not a literal translation of your English keywords.
  • Localized URLs and metadataTranslated titles, descriptions, slugs, and image alt text for every page.
  • Hreflang and sitemapsTags that tell search engines which language version to show, in which country.
  • Structure that ranksSubfolders, subdomains, or country domains, chosen with you for your markets.

Continuous localization

Your site changes. Every language keeps up.

Websites are never finished. Continuous localization means new and updated content reaches every language version without a new project each time.

  1. Review your site and planWe map your pages, confirm languages and markets, agree on terminology, and recommend the integration that fits your platform.
  2. Translate with your terminologyProfessional linguists translate using your glossary, style guide, and translation memory, with SEO keywords for each market.
  3. Review in contextA second linguist reviews each page on the real layout, and your in-country reviewers can comment before anything goes live.
  4. Test and launchWe check links, forms, checkout, mobile views, and right-to-left layouts, then publish each language version.
  5. Keep every language in syncWhen your content changes, the new and updated text is translated and published, so no language falls behind.

Quality

Pages that read as if they were written for the market

Visitors decide in seconds whether a site was made for them. Our process makes sure every language version earns that trust.

  • Translation memory and glossaryApproved terms and past translations are reused, so your brand sounds the same on every page and you never pay twice for the same sentence.
  • In-context reviewLinguists review translations on the actual page layout, not in a spreadsheet, so meaning and fit are checked together.
  • Linguistic quality assuranceA second linguist reviews every page under our ISO 17100 certified process.
  • Functional testingLinks, forms, checkout, right-to-left layouts, and mobile views are tested before launch.

Public sector and health care

What is the difference between website translation and website localization?

Website translation converts the words on your pages into another language. Website localization adapts the whole experience for a market: menus, forms, checkout, dates, currency, images with text, legal pages, and search metadata, so the site works and reads as if it were built for that audience. Most organizations need localization, because a translated page that breaks a form or shows English error messages still loses the visitor.

What is a translation proxy, and how does it work?

A translation proxy is a layer that sits in front of your existing website. When a visitor opens a language version, the proxy serves your page with the approved translations in place. It also detects new and changed content on your site and sends it for translation, so language versions stay current without changes to your CMS. It is the fastest way to launch many languages when developer time is limited.

Should we use a translation proxy or a CMS connector?

Choose a translation proxy when you want to launch quickly with little developer involvement, or when your CMS has limited multilingual support. Choose a CMS connector when your team wants localized pages stored and managed inside your CMS, alongside the originals. For custom sites and web applications, file-based exchange of XLIFF, JSON, or PO files is often the best fit. We recommend an approach after a free review of your platform and content.

How much does website localization cost?

Cost depends on the number of words on the pages you localize, how many of those words repeat across the site, how much can be reused from translation memory, the number of languages, the subject matter, and the integration method. Recurring updates are priced on new and changed words only. Send us your website address and target languages, and we will scope the site page by page and give you a firm quote.

How do you keep translated pages updated when our site changes?

Through continuous localization. Whether you use a translation proxy, a CMS connector, or file exchange, new and updated content is identified, translated using your translation memory and glossary, reviewed, and published to each language version. You pay only for what changed, and no language version falls behind the original.

Will a translated website help or hurt our SEO?

Done properly, it helps: each language version can rank for searches in that language. That requires keyword research in each market, translated titles, descriptions, URLs, and alt text, hreflang tags that tell search engines which version to show, and a clear site structure. Poorly implemented translations, such as missing hreflang or untranslated metadata, can leave the wrong page showing in local search. We build multilingual SEO into every page we localize.

Should we use subfolders, subdomains, or country domains for each language?

Subfolders, such as yourbrand.com/es/, are the most common choice because they keep the authority of your main domain and are the simplest to manage. Subdomains, such as es.yourbrand.com, and country domains, such as yourbrand.mx, send stronger country signals but take more effort to build authority and maintain. We recommend a structure based on your markets, your platform, and your SEO goals.

Can you localize right-to-left languages such as Arabic and Farsi?

Yes. We localize websites into right-to-left languages including Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew, and Urdu. That means mirroring the layout, navigation, and icons where needed, handling mixed right-to-left and left-to-right text such as numbers and brand names, and testing every page on desktop and mobile before launch.

Is machine translation good enough for our website?

It depends on the page. Machine translation with human post-editing can work well for high-volume, lower-risk content such as large help centers. Homepages, product pages, legal terms, and anything that affects health, safety, money, or legal rights should be translated or fully reviewed by professional linguists. Some regulations also require qualified human review of machine-translated critical content. We recommend the right approach for each type of page.

What do Title VI and Section 1557 mean for our website?

Organizations that receive federal financial assistance must take reasonable steps to give people with limited English proficiency meaningful access to their programs under Title VI, and health programs covered by Section 1557 have specific language access requirements, including notices of available language assistance. Your website is often where people look for that information first. We help you identify vital content, translate it in plain language, and add the notices and taglines your programs use. Confirm your specific obligations with your counsel, because federal guidance has changed in recent years.
