Catalan Website Localization
Catalan Website Localization
Catalan website localization is the process of adapting the language, appearance, and functionality of a website for Catalan-speaking regions in Spain and France. Catalan website localization projects should be executed by experienced teams of localization professionals who work in conjunction with your website designers, adhering to proven best practices for website design and development.
If you are interested in localizing your website for Catalan-speaking regions in Spain and France, you may also find your company localizing printed documentation to be available as PDFs, multimedia products such as FLASH presentations, or web applications such as online calculators or surveys. It is important that all components are correctly localized to offer a complete web experience to your potential Catalan-speaking users.
Whether your project is simple (such as a straight HTML-based Catalan website) or complex (such as a dynamic, database-driven Catalan web application), your localization company should have solid experience and a comprehensive process which includes at a minimum:
- Catalan glossary and terminology development.
- Catalan cultural correctness assessment.
- Catalan translation, editing and proofreading.
- Catalan localization of graphics.
- Catalan online quality assurance.
- Catalan usability testing and Catalan localization testing.
- Client review and approval.
You will need to provide your localization company with the following information, collectively referred to as a “Localization Kit.” This information allows them to analyze your website and to determine its Catalan localization requirements. This kit includes:
- Your current site URL.
- Summary of site architecture.
- Summary of any technologies and/or development tools used to develop your site.
- All files that make up your site in their original folder/file structure.
- All original graphics used in your site (artwork, background, and navigation buttons).
- All application source files (Word, FrameMaker, Quark, etc.) for any documentation available via your site.
- All application source files (Flash, Director, Authorware, etc.) for any multimedia available via your site.
