Multilingual Sites

Multilingual Sites – multi-l iːgwəl saɪts (noun) Web sites which are viewed simultaneously in various languages; web sites which may appear in different languages on different screens; web sites which need adaption for use in different regions and countries and must be internationalized and localized accordingly.

Single Source Responsibility

Recognizing the universal reach of the Internet, we offer a unified “single-source responsibility” service for the development, design, content creation and translating of international web sites. Providing multilingual centralized management, we coordinate every phase of development – from concept through to launch – removing an enormous burden from your shoulders.

We provide unified management at every stage; we appoint, supervise and manage the many service providers and suppliers needed to create your web site from basic design through site coding, marketing writing, translations, copyright issues in other languages, the insertion of translated material and any programming elements which need to be dealt with.

Cultural and Social Norms

We make sure that cultural and localized social norms and customs are maintained:

Starting from design, and using our unique localization and internationalization skills and knowledge, we will advise on the design, colors, look-and-feel and layout of a site targeted at a specific region. Knowing what appeals to audiences in different countries can mean the difference between acceptance and rejection, success or failure of a particular web site.

For example, certain colors have difference meanings in different countries; For example, while purple is a royal color in the West, in Thailand it is the color of mourning for widows. White may mean purity in the West but in Japan it signifies death. Symbols meaning one thing in Country A, will mean something completely opposite in Country B; while the use of certain images of animals or birds may be totally acceptable in one country and offensive in another.

The use of language, optimized for the web, keywords and phrases and headlines to attract attention are all within the skill set of our Multilingual Site team.

Trust us to provide the highest quality knowledge and expertise to help you develop your Multilingual web sites for the most efficient and effective results.
