This combination of machine translation and human post-editing is particularly beneficial for websites with similar texts or texts that are frequently updated.

How we work with website translations
Our approach ensures that your website will be translated in an efficient and professional manner:
At the beginning of our translation process, we will analyze your requirements in detail. You tell us which parts of your site are to be translated and into which target languages you wish the content to be translated.
Relevant content is extracted from the website using an export plug-in and saved in XLIFF format in order to be seamlessly transferred into the system after translation.
Our experienced translators work to ensure that your website content is translated into the target language accurately and in an appealing manner. We pay attention to cultural nuances and the use of industry-specific vocabulary. This is how we ensure that your message is understood correctly.
As soon as the texts are translated, you will receive them conveniently by e-mail. The text files are usually in XLIFF, PO, or XML format, so they can be imported directly. If required, the file transfer and processing can be automated owing to the connection of our API.

Localization also requires the adaptation of currencies, prices and payment methods to meet local market standards. Shipping and return policies must be adapted to local laws and expectations.
