A piece of advice: Be sure of your priorities from day 1
Three factors typically come into play when you need to have your webshop translated. Sometimes all three fall into place. But it’s a good idea to prioritise them on the basis of your specific situation.
Time
Fast to the finish line
If your project needs to move quickly, it can be relevant to have several translators working on the assignment simultaneously.
Price
The most economical solution
If you’re constrained by a tight budget, we can work with you to look at different models involving machine translation.
Quality
The best result
If high quality is your prime concern, we recommend allocating a single translator and testing him/her on your content. That’s the best way to establish whether he/she matches your style.
Case studies – what do others do?
Translation of webshops
Once your webshop is firmly established on your domestic market, the natural next step is to start looking abroad.
Automate this!
There’s no better feeling than discovering something new that can be automated, is there?
Well, you can also apply this to the translation of your webshop!
No matter what platform you use, there are typically plugins or integrations available to enable you to send content for translation with just a few clicks. Directly from your system to ours.

Official WPML partner
Do you also use WordPress and WooCommerce? If so, you’re probably already familiar with WPML. This plugin makes it possible for you, with just a few clicks, to send your pages to us for translation and then have the translated texts sent directly to your back end, ready to import as soon as you give the green light.
Checklist: What you need to sort out
You may already have hundreds or even thousands of goods and products you need to keep track of. And now you need to take care of even more details?
Don’t worry – we’ve put together a 23-point checklist you can work your way through. Sorted!
No web agency?
No problem!
Our ambition is to be your one-stop-shop. If you want one. This will eliminate the need to jump back and forth between contacts at the different agencies that are handling your translation, web solution, voice-overs and so on.
We’re used to working with agencies that specialise in areas other than ours. We’re happy to act as your anchorman so that you can concentrate on your own work.
Strong partnerships
A word from your language expert
“The key questions in relation to translating websites and webshops are: What needs to be translated, and what doesn’t? And is there anything that needs to be localised, adapting the actual content and targeting it at a new market?
We can receive web texts for translation in many formats: as HTML files, as XML files, through links to the website itself, or via WPML in WordPress.
The strategies our customers use can vary greatly, so we test and adapt our approach to each individual website on the basis of the customer’s wishes, requirements and expectations.”
