In today’s globalization, more and more enterprises choose to have their websites localized and translated so as to facilitate the expansion of their business to overseas markets and meet the needs of users in different countries and regions. Website localization translation concerns the image of enterprises in the international market, and more directly affects the SEO effect of the website.
Website localization translation is not a simple translation job. It’s not just about translating one language into another. There are many factors to keep in mind when translating. Let’s take a look at some of the factors that need to be taken into account when localizing a website.
- Cultural differences and language habits: Every country and region has its own unique cultural practices, and every language has its own customary terms and expressions. If the translator does not have in-depth understanding of the cultural background of the target language, it will be easy to cause misunderstanding when translating. Some terms and idioms, if translated irregularly, may affect the accuracy and fluency of website localization translation. Therefore, translators need to understand the target culture and language so as to achieve accurate, fluent and professional website localization translation.
- Consistent brand image: No matter which language the website is translated into, it should maintain the same brand image as the original website. When localizing a website for translation, the translator may be limited by the target language, making it difficult to accurately convey the brand image and style of the original. This requires the translator to have an in-depth understanding of the cultural background and consumption habits of the target market, to think creatively, and then to find the right way of expression to ensure that the translation is consistent with the brand image and tone.
- Optimize for search engines: When localizing a website for translation, keep the SEO keywords in the original website and optimize them according to the search habits of the target language. This can improve the ranking of the web-page in the search engine to increase the click rate and exposure rate. When translating, it is necessary to develop targeted localization optimization strategies for the characteristics of different search engines.
- Formatting and Layout: Website localization translation is not only about translating texts, but the formatting and layout of the pages are also part of website localization translation. Because different languages have different lengths of expression, it may affect the overall layout and design of the website format. If the formatting and typography are not handled properly, the website will look confusing and unprofessional, affecting the sense of user experience. So when localizing a website, it is important to integrate the text with the relevant formatting and typography elements to ensure that the website looks good in all languages.
