Entering the global marketplace can unlock your business growth. First, you <\/span>must <\/span><\/i>communicate well with your audience. An interconnected world needs website content translation and localization to satisfy customer needs wherever they live.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Research shows that translating a website into seven languages can reach 80% of global online shoppers. These languages include Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Italian, and English.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Translating a website into multiple languages can help you reach a wider audience. This can lead to increased<\/span> online <\/span><\/a>sales and global brand recognition. So how can you ensure an investment in multilingual websites will keep your business competitive? The following method can help!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Continuous Translation?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Continuous translation (or continuous localization) is when content is translated and localized constantly through software, instead of in separate stages.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Fueled by global growth, companies nowadays want to release content in multiple languages and formats. Modern content management tools make it possible to update content anytime and deploy it easily online. Continuous translation automatically collects text as changes happen and assigns \u201csegments\u201d of new content for translation. It enables you to achieve a constant flow of updated information when there\u2019s a need for new translation or localization.<\/p>\n

The Process of Continuous Translation<\/b><\/h2>\n

Continuous translation is an approach to translating content that relies on continual, simultaneous processes that create effective results. By using <\/span><\/span>website translation technology<\/span><\/span><\/a>, continuous translation is a seamless way to keep websites <\/span>optimized<\/span>. <\/span>Here\u2019s<\/span> how the process works:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Base Translation and Localization is Complete<\/b><\/h3>\n

MotionPoint\u2019s technology continually \u201ccrawls\u201d websites for translatable content, both as a website is initially translated and when updates are required. As a result, the technology learns the initial content and makes adjustments quickly.<\/p>\n

What Updating Content on Your Site Means<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Translation technology automatically picks it up for translation and localization when new content is ready. Continuous translation uses the element of automated website translation technology to keep content up-to-date. As a result, you do not have to manually provide updated content. Instead, the technology works automatically and independently to eliminate the time-consuming process.<\/p>\n

The content updating process can occur through more than one system. Content Management Systems (CMS) are powerful tools that help create and manage websites in multiple languages for different markets. However, they also have limitations that affect content translation.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, CMS connectors send entire pages of content for translation and localization instead of picking out new content. This is where <\/span>proxy-based technology<\/span><\/a> comes in. Proxy-based solutions complement CMS and don\u2019t replace them \u2013 instead, the proxy system automatically handles all translation workflows.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
