Your new customers won\u2019t visit a site they can\u2019t read.<\/p>\n<p>  But website translation isn\u2019t easy. You need to know the key challenges, and best practices, of the process. Here\u2019s a quick survival guide. <\/p>\n<h2>Three Pitfalls to Avoid<\/h2>\n<p>  Newcomers can\u2019t fathom the problems that can sidetrack or outright derail a website translation project. Here are three common \u201dgotchas\u201d to be aware of: <\/p>\n<h3>#1: Multilingual CMS Features Aren\u2019t Enough <\/h3>\n<p>  Your CMS probably has multilingual features that claim to easily manage translated content. Unfortunately, most of those features are undercooked. They often demand unexpected effort and resources to maintain.<\/p>\n<p>  For instance, multilingual CMSs rarely have automated translation workflows, which forces your team to manually manage the process of finding on-site translatable content, sending it off to translators, and integrating the translated material into the localized website.<\/p>\n<p>  This process is time-consuming, prone to error, and ultimately expensive.<\/p>\n<h3>#2: You Don\u2019t Consider the Opportunity Cost<\/h3>\n<p>  If you\u2019re thinking about using an in-house team to translate your site, the headaches you\u2019ll inherit will quickly outpace the cost of hiring a great website translation vendor. Here are a few:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hiring new personnel to manage translations and websites <\/li>\n<li>Translating text, images, metadata, multimedia content and applications <\/li>\n<li>Ensuring the accuracy of translations <\/li>\n<li>QA\u2019ing translated content for on-site design issues <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>#3: Vendor Danger: Maximizing Translation Expense<\/h3>\n<p>  Choosing a vendor is its own special kind of minefield. Partnering with a decades-old vendor sounds like a safe play, but those companies often operate under legacy business models.<\/p>\n<p>  This means they generate revenue by charging by the translated word. They have little or no incentive to reduce your costs.<\/p>\n<p>  Low price-per-word translation pricing is risky, too. Low prices may be reflected in poor translation quality, or might distract you from unseen costs associated with editing and project management.<\/p>\n<h2>Four Best Practices to Embrace<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>  Choosing the right translation partner isn\u2019t as hard as it sounds, if you remember that the goal is to remove the burden and expense of translation and site maintenance from your marketing team\u2019s shoulders. Great vendors do this without sacrificing translation quality, speed, flexibility or cost savings.<\/p>\n<h3>#1: Choose a Solution that Minimizes Complexity and Cost<\/h3>\n<p>  With so much at stake, it\u2019s essential to choose a website translation approach that delivers a world-class experience for your global customer without overtaxing your in-house team.<\/p>\n<p>  Proxy-based website translation solutions can do that. They operate independently of your website, making translation and operation effort-free for you. The best solutions are also flexible, enabling your marketing team to be as hands-on (or hands-off) with the process as it wishes. <\/p>\n<h3>#2: Supports Multichannel Translation<\/h3>\n<p>  Your company\u2019s marketing efforts extend far beyond your website\u2014reaching into social media, email, product feeds, offline documents, and more.<\/p>\n<p>  Your vendor should offer omnichannel translation services that deliver translation quality and consistency across all channels. It should also have APIs and other solutions on-hand to enable you to submit multichannel content for translation any time you wish.<\/p>\n<h3>#3: Supporting Localization<\/h3>\n<p>  While traditional translation is a great way to serve global customers, region-specific translations and cultural nuances called <i>localizations<\/i> can add a big boost to engagement and conversions. They increase the likelihood of your brand being fully understood and accepted.<\/p>\n<p>  If you want to convey your brand\u2019s authenticity to new customers, using a solution that leverages localizations makes a big difference. <\/p>\n<h3>#4: Supporting All On-Site and Third-Party Content<\/h3>\n<p>  Few things can be as damaging your globalization effort than a \u201cmixed language\u201d experience on a localized website, where content remains untranslated. It puts your brand\u2019s commitment to global markets in question\u2014as well as your competence.<\/p>\n<p>  It can even land you in hot water with local regulatory agencies that may require certain content to be presented in a specific way.<\/p>\n<p>  Great translation vendors are aware of these issues, and can not only to translate all content on your flagship website, but also translate content that \u201clives\u201d on third-party servers or in apps, image files, or metadata.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>  It\u2019s critical to choose a great vendor whose solution sidesteps the common pitfalls of website translation, and embodies its best practices.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>  The best translation vendors eliminate effort for you, and deliver world-class translations across all your marketing channels.<\/p>\n","article_body_code":"","news_image":{"ID":15114,"id":15114,"title":"7PitfallsBestPractices_Hero.jpg","filename":"7PitfallsBestPractices_Hero.jpg","filesize":53424,"url":"https:\/\/www.motionpoint.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/7PitfallsBestPractices_Hero.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.motionpoint.com\/blog\/7-pitfalls-and-best-practices-of-website-translation\/7pitfallsbestpractices_hero\/","alt":"","author":"2","description":"
