WORDPRESS WEBSITE LOCALIZATION
Originally developed as a blogging tool, WordPress evolved to a hosting platform that allows for an easy creation of websites, small or large. It is one of the most established content management systems with more than 60% of the market share; it is used by more than one third of all the websites online.

WordPress out-of-the-box, however, does not support multi-lingual content. In order to create multi-lingual websites, you will need to install a translation management plug-in. Quite a few such plug-ins exist and they vary in terms of functionality, support, ease of use and general usefulness.
One of the most popular plug-ins for WordPress is WPML. When set up correctly, it integrates nicely with localization workflow. It allows for content export and import via XLIFF, which is an XML-based file for translation.
The key phrase in the above paragraph is “when set up correctly”. It is not rocket science but chances are that you will struggle with it a bit the first time you attempt to install it and set it up. Best is to leave this task up to seasoned professionals. Here is what we propose:
1. Full WordPress translation turn-key solution.
- Install and set up your WPML plug-in.
- Export the content to localize (XLIFF).
- Run a pre-translation verification test to make sure everything has been exported properly and the localized website will function as expected.
- Localize your content (including any graphics, multi-media files, videos…) into as many languages as you need.
- Import your localized content back into WordPress.
- Test the multilingual site.
Or…
2. wordpress translation a la carte.
