Despite the international nature of the internet, web content can be extremely difficult to localise. The ad-hoc nature of web publishing, the differences in scale and structure between different sites, and technical issues regarding text encoding all present specific issues to translating web-based material. Our studio team have the knowledge and experience to help you bring your existing content to a wider audience — however many languages that involves.

The right method for you

Differences between web technologies and design methodology mean that no two websites are the same. Our studio team understands this, and will be at hand to advise you of the best way to translate your online content. Static HTML content can be translated directly by the page, retaining all of your original markup structure. More complex, content managed sites can be translated straight from the database or XML files which store the content, whereas Flash content usually requires a more direct, typesetting-style approach. However your site is structured, we can talk you through every stage of the process, advising you on the best way to extend your site. For some basic tips on how to proceed, check out our guide to web translation.

Improve your accessibility

Adding more languages is not the only way to extend your site's audience. Web accessibility is an essential but often-overlooked part of an effective web presence. We can help you make sure that your site is suitably accessible — from basic structural issues which can cause problems for visitors using screenreaders, to advanced features such as flash video captioning. If you're not sure about whether your site could benefit from improved accessibility, or if you'd like to know more about anything mentioned here, you can get in touch on our contact page.

Need a fresh start?

If you need a new site building from scratch, or if your current web presence isn't performing quite as well as you'd like, we offer a full web design service. Whether you need a small brochure site or a more complex content-managed solution, our creative team can work with you to create a site which is beautiful, accessible, and easy to use. Alternatively, if you already have an in-house team or external agency designing your site, we can work alongside them during the development stage – ensuring that however many languages you require, they are integrated seamlessly into the rest of your web experience.
