WordPress Website Translation
Do you plan to publish a WordPress website and make it available in several languages? With SimulTrans and any Plugin of your choice, it is easy!
WordPress
WordPress is an open-source, free content management system (CMS). It is the most widely used website CMS around. According to W3Techs, approximately 61% of all CMS-based websites are powered by WordPress.
Here are some of the advantages:
- A free system that can be scaled easily and cheaply
- Easy to work with thanks to a good structure and simple operation
- SEO-friendly platform
Multilingual Websites
The rapid growth of e-commerce has increased the number of WordPress users and the need to translate websites to reach international customers. In addition to this, research by CSA Research has found that:
- 75 % of online shoppers prefer to buy products with information in their native language
- 40 % will never buy from websites in other languages
Having a website translated into multiple languages enables any company to reach a broader international audience, increase sales, and enhance customer satisfaction.
