Website translation services

How much does it cost to translate a website?

Website translation costs depend on three primary variables: word count, language pair, and the scope of services required. Per-word rates typically correspond to the cost of living in the target country — for example, translation into Simplified Chinese costs roughly one-third the price of Swedish. Formatting, graphic editing, and video localization are priced separately on a per-page or per-asset basis.

Will you translate our SEO keywords and metadata for each target market?

Yes. This is one of the most important steps in website localization. Direct keyword translation fails most of the time because search behavior is language- and culture-specific. A keyword that drives traffic in English may have low search volume or a different meaning in German or Japanese.

SimulTrans' multilingual SEO process:

• Develops a locale-specific keyword glossary before translation of core web content begins
• Researches actual search intent and search volume in each target market
• Applies keywords consistently across page titles, meta descriptions, headings, body copy, image alt text, and URLs
• Can work from your existing SEO keyword lists or build them from scratch

The result: localized pages that rank in target-market search engines, not just accurate translations of your English content.

How do you handle ongoing website updates and new content?

Most website translation programs are continuous, not one-time projects. SimulTrans is built for this. Once your initial site is translated, we develop a recurring workflow tailored to your publishing cadence, whether you update weekly, monthly, or on a rolling basis.

How ongoing updates work:

• CMS connectors detect new or changed content and route it to translation automatically
• Translation memory ensures only new or modified content is translated 
• Dedicated project teams are pre-briefed on your brand, so there is no ramp-up time for each update cycle
• The SimulTracker portal gives your team real-time visibility into every project's status across all languages

This model keeps your localized site synchronized with your source site without creating an ongoing administrative burden for your team.

How do you maintain brand voice and tone across all translated languages?

Consistency starts before translation begins. SimulTrans' onboarding process includes:

• Brand voice and tone review: understanding how your company communicates and what to preserve across languages
• Style guide development: documented rules for formality level, preferred terminology, and phrasing conventions per locale
• Glossary creation: approved translations for product names, features, taglines, and industry terms
• Dedicated linguist teams: the same translators and reviewers work on your account over time, building institutional knowledge of your brand

Translation memory stores every approved string, so terminology and phrasing stay consistent across every page, every update, and every language — automatically.
