Before you invest a lot of time, energy and money into your website translation project, consider these steps to ensure you start off on the right track.<\/p>\n

1. Determine the scope<\/b><\/p>\n

Before you begin, decide how large your project should be. Do you need to translate your entire website? Or maybe just start out with key sections? How about your blog and your press releases?<\/p>\n

How about translation technology? There are options like proxy, that replicate your English website, a CMS connector or API that pipes translation in and out of your CMS, or will you choose a combination of these technologies?<\/p>\n
