Establishing a worldwide presence on the Web requires much more than the translation of an existing Web site into another language. Such factors as the use of images, logos, expressions, colors, and metaphors must be carefully analyzed. Furthermore, the text itself needs to be adapted and copy-edited to suit a specific locale, hence the concept of localization. Through its proprietary globalization process, Excel Translations ensures that such requirements are taken into account in every step of a Web site localization which, typically, follows the process summarized below:

• Web site analysis
• Project planning and scheduling with client
• Web site replication on our servers
• Compilation of style sheets and glossaries
• Localization of editable text
• Editing of graphics, buttons, and images
• Engineering and testing on native OS and browser
• Client review
• Implementation of client changes
• Final QA
• Integration of files in client-dedicated translation memory
• On-going content management and updates

For the past four years, Excel Translations has localized dozens of Web sites for companies worldwide. Click on any of the logos below for a description of some of the major Web site localization projects we have accomplished.
