Website Localization

The proliferation of the Internet has provided companies with unprecedented access to a global audience. However, without professionally localized web content, companies risk losing significant market share to those who target global clients in their native language and culture. CSOFT excels in website globalization through our professional in-country translation and expert website engineering capabilities.

Unlike traditional documentation formats, web contents are often generated dynamically using templates, scripts, backend applications, and databases. Properly localizing a website and maintaining it for multiple languages can be a technically demanding task. Thanks to CSOFT's strong capabilities in software development and website engineering, we are ideally positioned to help companies localize their web content for global deployment.

In addition to the translation of static pages, CSOFT has the ability to process various files formats including:

• XML
• ASP, JSP, Javascript, PHP
• Database (SQL, MySQL, Access)

Once a website has been translated, it needs to be carefully formatted and tested to make sure all links, forms, graphics, and scripts work properly for the localized versions. CSOFT uses a combination of software and human testing to QA the localized site for functional, linguistic, and cosmetic issues.

Website Internationalization Consulting

Since a well globalized website allows a much easier translation process by isolating content away from design and functionality, CSOFT also offers consulting services for website globalization. Our service includes:

• Recommending the appropriate platform, server, and application model to support multilingual content
• Modifying the Web architecture to facilitate the localization process
• Identifying content that can be translated
