The website hosted on the network can be accessed by both Russian-speaking and foreign guests. If you provide services available to both groups, you must have a website in at least two languages.
Instructions
Step 1
To create a bilingual website, create one language first. In case you create it yourself, save the layout and all its components in a separate folder. If you have a large amount of textual information, create a Word document, which will contain all the texts that are posted on the site, with a detailed description of their location. The more carefully you carry out this procedure, the easier the following operations will be for you.
Step 2
If you have a high enough knowledge of the languages in which the website should be, you can translate it yourself. If you have a large number of banners on your site, start with them. Create new banners and menu items, if they are made in a graphical editor, keeping the design but executing them in a different language. Then translate the menu. After that, you can save time by using the PROMT translator batch file translation. Then carefully proofread the text using the multitran service.
Step 3
Keep in mind that it is not enough just to translate the text contained on the website - you also need to dap it for a native speaker. It would be best to ask the native speaker to read the text. If you doubt your capabilities, and also do not have such acquaintances, the best step would be to contact a translation agency.
Step 4
Collect an exact copy of the originally created website. Add two buttons to each layout to switch the language. It is not necessary to configure the website in such a way that the page can be translated from any section of the site - it is enough that when the user clicks on the language switch button, the visitor is taken to the main page of the version of the site, the language of which he clicked. Link both layouts into one, and then upload the resource to the hosting.
