Website translation services
Website localization and translation by native speakers
Accuracy is far from the only concern when localizing a website. Translated content must be culturally relevant to international audiences, which often means replacing imagery, humor, and locale-specific references (while maintaining brand identity and search engine optimization [SEO] value).
Translated text must be imported into each localized page and match the layout of the source site.
For these reasons, SimulTrans goes way beyond translating text on our clients’ websites. Our process involves first understanding your products, messaging, and audiences, and establishing style and keyword guidelines. We also flag potential internationalization issues with language, photos, and illustrations.
Then, connectors to your CMS and marketing automation platform save you time by automating the process of requesting and receiving translations. You simply select pages and languages from your dashboard and receive ready-to-publish content when it’s complete (or if you prefer, you can send content and receive translations manually).
Our website localization services include the translation of:
- Web pages
- Landing pages
- Calls to action
- Blog posts
- Marketing PDFs
- Videos

Frequently asked questions
How much does website translation cost?
Costs vary by language, typically corresponding to the cost of living in the target countries (for example, translation into Simplified Chinese is about a third of the cost of translation into Swedish). SimulTrans provides discounts based on repeated text by leveraging translation memory. Costs for formatting text and editing graphics or videos are calculated on a per-page basis.

Does SimulTrans translate SEO keywords?
Yes. Because speakers of different languages use search engines differently, keywords in one language may not be optimal in another. SimulTrans identifies international SEO keywords during the glossary development phase prior to translation of core web content, and applies these keywords consistently throughout your site. We can also work with predefined SEO keyword lists.
How long does website translation take?
Timelines depend on two factors: word count and team size. Each translator usually translates about 2,000 words per day, and our translators work simultaneously so the number of target languages won’t impact your timeline. Some additional time is required for formatting and testing.
We can accommodate almost any timeline by scaling your translation team. A typical team can have three translators and two reviewers per language, while some projects have over 100 translators per language!
Because websites grow and change, website localization projects are typically ongoing, with updates made monthly or even more frequently as needed. Your SimulTrans team will develop a custom workflow to support your ongoing website translation program.
