Professional Website Translation

Word Works » Translation Services » Professional Website Translation

Nowadays, automatic web translators are within the reach of any company. Although it is important to keep in mind that a good website translation is a key task for companies looking to expand or improve their presence in the global market and reach multilingual audiences in a professional and truly effective way.

At Word Works we regularly manage website translation projects, with a large team of not just translators but also of technicians specialised in this field.

Our specialised website translation service is governed by one basic rule: a website not only needs to be translated, it also needs to be localised, adapting its content to the target markets.

We are your web page translators

Word Works‘ language project management service takes care of the good translation and localisation of your website.

Our team of specialised translators approach website translation and localisation with a number of specific considerations in mind

Respect for the structure of the source website: adapting the contents to specific formats and designs and paying special attention to browsing menus, action buttons, links and images, etc.
Correct localisation of the contents of the website: taking into account the cultural and linguistic features of the target market (use of local currency, units of measurement and specific cultural references).
Handling linguistic and cultural differences, such as writing direction and word choice.

Attention to the technical aspects of translation such as search engine optimisation (SEO) and adaptation of the translation for different devices.
Use of specialised translation tools to ensure consistency in the terminology used in the translation, which is especially important for websites with technical content, which also speeds up the translation process and improves the quality of the final content.

Differentiation of the parts of a website

At Word Works we work specifically on each part of a website, as they may require different approaches and processing to adapt to the language and culture of the target market.

Approaches to the different parts of a website:

We avoid literal web translations

At Word Works we don’t believe in providing generalist translation services and therefore, we only employ specialised teams who know their stuff and therefore know what they are translating. Our professional translators are trained to understand and adapt technical and culturally relevant terminology to the target audience, rather than simply translating word for word. Their work is complemented by the use of computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools to ensure consistency and accuracy in the use of terminology in all parts of a website.

Moreover, we have proofreaders, language engineers and editors who ensure that the final translation is of high quality and conforms to the desired style, form and tone.

Website translation under ISO standards

Word Works was the first translation company in Spain to obtain ISO 9001 certification for its exhaustive quality control processes.

The ISO 9001 and ISO 17100 quality standards are international standards specifically setting requirements for quality management and translation.

In addition to these two standards, Word Works complies with the ISO 18587 standard, which is specific to the professional and quality use of machine translation engines.

These standards are of great importance in the translation process of website-related texts and we know this at Word Works, which is why we offer specialised services in these areas and take quality very seriously.

In this sense, Word Works has three quality certifications that guarantee the level of its processes and tools. Namely:

ISO 9001 for general quality processes.

ISO 17100 for quality applied directly to the management and execution of translation projects.

ISO 18587 for quality applied to the tools used in machine translation processes. (🔗)

Frequently Asked Questions

How do we carry out website translations?

Website translations are undertaken thanks to the correct selection of the team involved: a specialised translation team in the industry that the page is aimed at, in order to adequately handle its specific jargon, a localisation engineer who understands how the website itself works, and a layout artist or designer who will take care of adapting all the graphics and images the website requires. All of this is supervised by one of our project managers, who advise, guide and inform the customer throughout the website translation process

Why is it advisable to have a professional translate a website?

Yes, and we make it available to our customers whenever necessary. Some markets are more complex than others and customers don’t have to be proficient regarding the specific aspects of each one. We offer advice and support throughout the whole process of implementing a website.

Do you adapt the translation of the website to its industry?

Indeed. We take into account its industry as well as the markets to which it will be directed, whenever customers ask us to do so. It is, in any case, what we advise customers.

Do you only translate text or also the structural elements such as URLs, buttons, etc.?

This is another reason why web translation is so much more than the translation itself. There are graphic elements that need to be processed and in many cases, adapted. URLs need to be localised in the appropriate languages, buttons need to be redone, images need to be edited, downloadable documents need to be adapted, etc. At Word Works, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the project from the beginning and we offer customers the possibility of counting on our specialised team throughout the entire process.
