Web Sites

We adapt English web sites into all major business languages. Our full service includes adaptation and localisation of your web copy and interface. We take your source html files and deliver formatted translations for your webmaster to upload. We will also proofread and test all language versions before they go live.

Translation and localisation

Selecting the right translation provider is as crucial as each of the tasks you faced in building the English version (writing the content, the navigation, graphics, and the search engine optimisation). At Etymax we ensure not only accuracy in translation but also that your corporate style and message have as much impact after translation as before. It goes without saying that we localise all internet terminology for each market.

Why translate your web site?

Translating and localising your web site means you can reach existing and potential global customers with no additional marketing effort. Addressing those markets in their language means you can be sure they understand your offer, your brand.
