Translation

Hi

Is their any software out there that will translate your website, eg you click on a national flag on youre website and it translates your website to that language.

Cheers

Pat

Re: Translation

Automated translations are never very accurate. Unless there's something I don't know about, I would have thought that you would need to get the website properly translated by a person, and then the flag would just be a link to take you to the other version of your site in another language.

Re: Translation

Yeah, I agree. Translation software is notoriously poor and often does the opposite of what you intend, making everything even more confusing for non-english speakers.

Re: Translation

if you have a translated file...i guess...

you would store the content in a database and depending on what language request is sent to the server it wilkl throw up the right language from the database.
