Web Site Localization

Your Web Site is More than Images and Words on Monitors around the Globe
Simply put, web site localization describes the process by which your web site is refined and maintained to make it accessible to a global community. 

But like translation, web site localization is much more than translating words. It's important to consider how audiences in different parts of the world approach the online environment. Each culture has its own set of expectations, defined by its social and legal environment, as to what a web site should be. 

Why Choose Textminded for Your Web Site Localization?
As with everything we do, we'll handle your web site localization project as if it were our own. We'll consider all the nuances and details that others might not think of, such as web site architecture and web content, how you organize your information, web site images and forms, online support, privacy, and more. 

We believe that the Web is the most efficient means of reaching your global customers, but we also believe that unless your site addresses these varying dynamics, you won't realize the full potential of your opportunity.  Textminded partners with you to help improve your sales and customer reach by developing and adapting your web site for a global audience.

Our Web Site Localization Process
As we set out to meet your objectives, we'll work through the following web site localization process.  Of course this process is not set in stone; as we adapt your site to meet a global audience's requirements, we'll adapt our process to meet yours. 

• Review your current site as it relates to the requirements and expectations of your target audience
• Translate your text in the most appropriate format, including embedded graphics
• Modify or alter images to avoid cultural misconceptions
