Dear all,

Could someone explain to me what is a website translation? I mean what the translator is suppose to translate in a website, what tools are involved and in what format the translated files should be delievered?

Cheers

hi, you'd better find some tools like UltraEdit, FrontPage, Dreamweaver, or Trados to ensure to translate only what need to be translated. These tools will color-mark those tags in webpage that should not be touched or Protect them (make them not editable unless you Unprotect them). However, some of the tags doo need to be changed to ensure correct display in target languages, for example, the "charset=UTF-8" tag for English webpage should be changed to "charset=gb2312" when translated into simplified chinese webpage, otherwise the webpage will not be displayed correctly in S chinese. most of these charset code can  be found from IE (menu)->View->Code. Hope this can be helpful. :-)

nice day!
