Hi, I'm new to this site but I've done a website translation once where the client sent me the webpages to be translated as html files (Internet Explorer, Mozilla...). I then copied the Page Source and saved it in a program such as Notepad, translated the words (not any of the html tags), saved it again in Notepad and in html and then double-checked the web page to make sure only the text was translated and I hadn't accidentally changed any html. Hope this helps. - puffin

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!

| I believe that Mozzila Suite 1.7 is bundled with a webpage editing function so that u can do the translation of the page and preview it before formally send it back to the client. Cheers!
