This might depend, for example, on how accurate you want the translation to be.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s have a look at the 3 most common approaches to translating a site, what the pros and cons of each are, and how to implement them.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-human-translation\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-human-translation\"><\/span>1. Human translation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the frequently used methods to translate a web page is to hire human translators to convert content from one language to another.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Professional <a href=\"https:\/\/phrase-staging.required.ch\/blog\/posts\/website-translation-services\/\">website translation services<\/a> have the advantage of being very accurate, as long as you find expert linguists who understand both the source and target languages well and who are familiar with the subject matter of the site.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the flip side, human translation can often be costly, and it can take a while to get the translated pages back from the translator.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Advantages of human translation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>High accuracy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Understanding of context<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can adapt to specific registers and tones<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Better understanding of the site&#8217;s purpose and how to communicate that to users in the target language<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Creativity\u2014translators can come up with catchy phrases or turns of phrase that will resonate with users<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can create SEO-friendly translations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Drawbacks of human translation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Often costly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Time-consuming<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prone to human errors like typos<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Potential to create bottlenecks when no translators are available<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-machine-translation\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-machine-translation\"><\/span>2. Machine translation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An alternative to human translation is <a href=\"https:\/\/phrase-staging.required.ch\/blog\/posts\/machine-translation\/\">machine translation<\/a> (MT), which is where you use a computer program to translate the text on your site automatically. This has the advantage of being much faster and cheaper than human translation, but the downside is that it&#8217;s often not as accurate.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Benefits of machine translation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fast<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cost-effective<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can be used for large projects<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can be scaled up easily<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can be post-edited for enhanced accuracy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Limitations of machine translation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Not suitable for all projects<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lower accuracy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can&#8217;t adapt to specific registers or tones<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not as fluent or natural-sounding as human translation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Might need a lot of data to produce good results<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Typically unable to pick up on text nuances and idiomatic expressions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Less creative than human translation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Potential legal risks\u2014if the translation is not accurate, it could be considered misleading and you could be liable for damages<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the disadvantages of machine translation might seem to outweigh the advantages, it&#8217;s important to remember that machine translation has come a long way in recent years with the emergence of neural machine translation (NMT), and it continues to improve.<br \/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NMT typically delivers impressive results, especially for common language pairs like English to German, and it&#8217;s increasingly difficult to catch grammatical or punctuation mistakes in the machine-translated text.<br \/><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-machine-translation-post-editing-mtpe\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-machine-translation-post-editing-mtpe\"><\/span>3. Machine translation post-editing (MTPE)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A third option, which is a hybrid of human and machine translation, is machine translation post-editing (MTPE). MTPE is where you use machine translation tools to generate a draft <a href=\"https:\/\/phrase-staging.required.ch\/blog\/posts\/translation\/\">translation<\/a>, which is then edited and polished by a human translator to improve accuracy.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In recent years, post-editing has become quite popular in the translation industry. This is also due to the fact that many resources are being invested in the development of the so-called \u00abneural machine translation engines.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To sum it up, simply weigh the pros and cons based on your objectives and choose the translation approach that best meets your needs. Now, let&#8217;s go ahead and put this into action.<br \/><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-translate-a-web-page-in-your-browser\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-translate-a-web-page-in-your-browser\"><\/span>How to translate a web page in your browser<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Assuming you just need to quickly translate a foreign-language web page for your own personal use and don&#8217;t need to worry about accuracy, there are a few different ways you can do it right in your web browser.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most web browsers, including Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox, have built-in translation tools that can automatically translate web pages for you.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Naturally, the content displayed in the preferred language won&#8217;t be perfect. In some cases (like minority languages), the output quality may even be poor.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, in most cases, even if the translation isn&#8217;t optimal and the cultural references are wrong, it&#8217;s still possible to understand the key points of the content.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on your browser, you&#8217;ll usually see a dialog box asking if you want to translate the page when you come across a web page written in a foreign language. Alternatively, in just a few clicks, you can typically access the translation options in your browser&#8217;s settings.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-translate-a-website-in-google-chrome\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-translate-a-website-in-google-chrome\"><\/span>How to translate a website in Google Chrome<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google owns one of the most popular automatic page translators, Google Translate. For this reason, using Google Chrome as a browser to carry out the automatic <a href=\"https:\/\/phrase-staging.required.ch\/blog\/posts\/website-translation\/\">translation of websites<\/a> is one of the most practical translation options.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Translating a page with Google Translate is quite straightforward:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open a website in any foreign language.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on the Google Translate icon on the right in the address bar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the language in which you want to read the content.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The content of the webpage will automatically appear in the selected language.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you wish, save your settings for the future\u2014this will save you a lot of time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-65583 size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/phrase-staging.required.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/translate-webpage-chrome.png\" alt=\"Translate a web page in Chrome | Phrase\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Screenshot \u00a9 spiegel.de<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-translate-a-web-page-in-firefox\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-translate-a-web-page-in-firefox\"><\/span>How to translate a web page in Firefox<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To translate the content of a website in Firefox, it is necessary to install specific add-ons.

Simply follow the steps below:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open the Chrome app and\u2014when visiting a web page in another language\u2014select \u201cMore\u201d and the target language at the bottom of the page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chrome will offer to translate the web page one time or to always translate it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the option that you prefer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-66252\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/phrase-staging.required.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/translate-webpage-android.jpg\" alt=\"Translate a web page on an Android | Phrase\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-translate-an-entire-website-of-your-own\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-translate-an-entire-website-of-your-own\"><\/span>How to translate an entire website of your own<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Up to here, we&#8217;ve dealt with manual methods of translating a page online. However, if you\u2019re the owner of a website, you probably want to take some form of proactive action to ensure that your content is accessible to as many people as possible, regardless of language barriers.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And here&#8217;s where things can start to get complicated because a few clicks of a button is no longer enough. When businesses or organizations want to make their content available for multiple foreign markets, we no longer talk of translation but of localization.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-distinguishing-between-translation-and-localization\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"distinguishing-between-translation-and-localization\"><\/span>Distinguishing between translation and localization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contrary to popular belief, <a href=\"https:\/\/phrase-staging.required.ch\/blog\/posts\/localization-isnt-just-about-translation\/\">translation and localization <\/a>don\u2019t mean the same thing.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can think of translation as a form of transposing written content from one language to another, respecting the original&#8217;s meaning and structure. The goal is to ensure that the text makes sense in the target language.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, localization is a much more complex undertaking that goes beyond transposing written text. In other words, it&#8217;s much more than translating the website content (plain words) into the local languages of your target audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group acf-blog-cta has-light-grey-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-e63b45c3 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-not-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"365\" height=\"277\" src=\"https:\/\/phrase-staging.required.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/localization-strategy.svg\" alt=\"Visual clave de estrategia de localizaci\u00f3n | Phrase\" class=\"wp-image-44107\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n\n\n<p class=\"subhead has-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0af536ea68421f3e553e5cecbc341043 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\">EXPLORA EN PROFUNDIDAD<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-larger-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u00bfQu\u00e9 es la localizaci\u00f3n y por qu\u00e9 es importante?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Descubre por qu\u00e9 la localizaci\u00f3n no es lo mismo que la traducci\u00f3n y c\u00f3mo puede ayudar a las empresas a expandir su huella global.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-grey-filled\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/phrase-staging.required.ch\/blog\/posts\/how-important-is-localization-for-your-business\/\">Explora estrategias<\/a>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To ensure successful <a href=\"https:\/\/phrase-staging.required.ch\/blog\/posts\/content-localization\/\">content localization<\/a> for your website, you need to consider some additional factors:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cultural context:<\/strong> A website that is successful in one country might not work as well in another. It might be necessary to adapt the whole content to better suit the target audience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Technical considerations:<\/strong> This includes aspects such as hosting or domain names\u2014you might need a local domain or host in the target country.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Design:<\/strong> The overall UX and UI design of the website, including colors, layout, images, and videos are also important considerations. For example, you don&#8217;t want to use images with people from one culture on a website targeting another culture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Functionality:<\/strong> Localization might also require the website to be modified in such a way that certain functionalities, such as ecommerce or online payments, work as required in the target country.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>User experience (UX):<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/phrase-staging.required.ch\/blog\/posts\/app-localization-developers-guide-to-user-experience\/\">Adapting the UX to local expectations<\/a> is vital. What users from one culture expect from a website might be completely different from what users in another culture expect.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Date, time, and currency formats:<\/strong> Depending on the target country, you might need to change kilometers to miles, for example, or adapt the date format to better suit the standards of the target market.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Language variety:<\/strong> If you offer your website in French, for example, you should differentiate the variant according to the markets in which you operate, e.g. French (Canada), French (Belgium), French (France), and so on, because each country has its own conventions, style, and language variant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-defining-a-clear-localization-strategy\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"defining-a-clear-localization-strategy\"><\/span>Defining a clear localization strategy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Successful localization starts with a <a href=\"https:\/\/phrase-staging.required.ch\/blog\/posts\/how-important-is-localization-for-your-business\/\">solid localization strategy<\/a>. This implies having a good understanding of the target markets, as well as the needs and expectations of your website visitors, so they will take the desired action.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some questions you can ask yourself to get started include:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Who is your target audience?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What are their needs and expectations?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What type of devices do they use to access your website (e.g. desktop,\u00a0 mobile)?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What is your budget for localization?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are you looking to target one specific market first or multiple markets simultaneously?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What content will you prioritize? Based on what?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which tools and technologies will you use?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you&#8217;ve addressed these questions, you can start building a <a href=\"https:\/\/phrase-staging.required.ch\/blog\/posts\/9-steps-to-get-your-website-localization-started\/\">website localization<\/a> strategy.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-professional-translation-software-to-translate-websites-at-scale\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"use-professional-translation-software-to-translate-websites-at-scale\"><\/span>Use professional translation software to translate websites at scale<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Relying on cloud-based <a href=\"https:\/\/phrase-staging.required.ch\/blog\/posts\/translation-technology\/\">translation technology<\/a> is essential for ensuring that everything runs smoothly during the entire localization process.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More specifically, consider using a <a href=\"https:\/\/phrase-staging.required.ch\/blog\/posts\/translation-management-system-how-it-works\/\">translation management system<\/a> (TMS). This software platform combines machine translation with many different functionalities designed to automate various parts of the translation process\u2014from importing and exporting content for translation to team collaboration.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The key components of a translation management system are:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools, such as translation memory and term bases<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AI-powered machine translation capabilities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Project management features<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Workflow automation solutions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Real-time collaboration capabilities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Native integrations (e.g., a <a

reports and analytics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The possibility to upload and manage glossaries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quality assurance (QA) features to check the target content before publication, and more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The automation and other features provided by a cloud-based TMS enable you to free up time for other tasks, like researching topics or creating content, which are the more human-centric aspects of localization that demand more attention.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group acf-blog-cta has-phrase-green-background-color has-background
