Every project here is handled by human website translators: native speakers of the target language, matched to your subject matter, with a second linguist reviewing the work against the source. That pass is not optional; there is no cheaper web-only tier where it quietly disappears.
Web copy is dense with the hardest things to translate: short button labels, slogans, product names, idioms and legal boilerplate. A website translator also has to keep placeholders, HTML tags and variables intact so the build does not break on import; ours work in tools that protect the code.
Contracts and reports go through document translation services; software strings, apps and e-learning sit under localization services, all sharing one glossary.
More than 68 million US residents speak a language other than English at home, roughly one in five people, according to US Census Bureau survey data. Around 42 million of them speak Spanish, making a Spanish site the obvious first step for most US businesses: the largest non-English market in the country, with no international shipping or currency questions attached.
The pattern repeats by industry. Health systems translate patient-facing pages for the communities they serve, which language-access rules under Title VI and Section 1557 push them toward anyway. Law firms translate intake pages because an injured worker in Houston searches in Spanish, not English. Retailers translate product pages for the Vietnamese, Tagalog, Chinese and Haitian Creole speakers in their metros.
Where to start depends on your customer data, not a hunch. Our Spanish translation services and Mandarin translation services pages cover the two most requested languages, the full language list has the other 324, and our business translation and financial translation teams cover sector material.
More than the paragraphs: buttons, forms, error messages, title tags, meta descriptions and alt text are part of the job.
Home pages, service pages, landing pages and blogs, translated for tone so the copy still sells.
Product titles, descriptions, category names, size charts, checkout steps and order emails, with catalog repetition discounted.
Appointment flows, intake forms, aftercare instructions and health content, handled with HIPAA-aligned confidentiality.
Practice-area pages, case evaluation forms and disclaimers, worded so a claim means the same thing in both languages.
Help centers, FAQs, knowledge bases and chatbot strings, kept consistent with your product terms.
Price lists, spec sheets and documents behind the pages, so visitors never hit English mid-task.
Machine plugins are fast and cheap, and for some content that is the right trade. The honest comparison:
| Factor | Human translation | Machine plugin |
|---|---|---|
| Reading quality | Reads like it was written in the language. Idioms and slogans adapted, not transposed. | Understandable but visibly machine-made. Idioms and button labels fail most often. |
| Brand risk | Low. A second linguist reviews every page before it ships. | Real. Errors publish instantly with your logo next to them. |
| Legal and medical content | Handled by subject-matter translators. | Not suitable without human review. A mistranslated dosage or liability clause is real exposure. |
| Multilingual SEO | Title tags, meta descriptions and URLs translated with local search phrasing in mind. | Often renders client-side. Google discourages indexing raw machine output. |
| Speed and cost | Days, priced per word. Translation memory discounts repeated wording. | Minutes, flat subscription. Genuinely cheaper and faster. |
There is no point translating a page well if nobody finds it. The highest-volume phrase in Spanish is rarely a word-for-word rendering of your English keyword, so we write the translated title tag and meta description to earn a click in that language. Three technical basics decide whether translated pages can rank at all:
URL structure and hreflang sit with your developer, but we flag what is missing during scoping, and the translated SEO fields arrive alongside the page copy in the same files.
Files come back in the structure you sent, tags and placeholders intact, ready to import.
Most content systems, WordPress and Shopify included, export content as XLIFF, CSV or XML through a standard plugin, and a spreadsheet with one string per row works fine for smaller sites. Where an export is awkward, a plain Word or HTML copy of each page does the job.
Raise two things early with your developer: right-to-left languages such as Arabic affect layout, and text expansion (German runs about 30 percent longer than English) can break tight buttons and menus. We flag both during scoping.
Few websites stand still. We keep a translation memory and glossary for your site, so when you add a product or revise a page we translate only what is new and reuse wording you have already approved. You are never billed twice for the same sentence and terminology stays consistent. Most clients settle into a rhythm: they send the month’s changed pages, we return them in the same files, and every language stays current. Print collateral runs through brochure translation on the same memory, so the wording matches on paper too.
Four steps from first email to live pages.
Share the pages you want translated, a sitemap, or a CMS export. XLIFF, CSV, XML, HTML and Word all work. A written quote and timeline come back, usually within 60 minutes during business hours.
We confirm the language pair, agree on product names and terms that stay in English, and note how formally the translation should address readers. Ten minutes here saves a rewrite later.
A native speaker of the target language translates every string, including title tags, meta descriptions and alt text. A second linguist checks the work against the source.
Files return in the structure you sent, so your developer imports instead of retyping. We recommend a proofreading pass on the staging site to catch truncated headings or leftover English.
Website translation is priced per source word. As a guide, professional human translation in the US market typically runs from around $0.10 to $0.25 per word. Common pairs like English to Spanish sit at the lower end; technical, legal or clinical material higher; rare languages higher still, because fewer qualified translators exist. These are market ranges, not a price list; your quote confirms the exact figure.
Two things pull the number down: translation memory discounts repeated sentences, and scoping tightly (your 20 most-visited pages rather than all 400) gets you live for a fraction of the full-site figure.
