Website Localization
EQHO can deliver large-scale, complex website localization projects, as well as quickly turning around website content updates, no matter how small they may be.
A centralized production model allows us to customize processes so controls can be maintained in order to provide full-service website localization, including rigorous testing across different operating systems and web browser types. These multi-discipline activities are managed by in-house engineers, programmers, linguists and localization support staff who are adept at handling a wide range of website localization projects including, cutting-edge Web 2.0 applications, dynamic e-commerce portals, static HTML, Flash or rich-media sites.
EQHO links website localization strategies and processes to your web development road-map in order to decrease website localization timelines and costs.
EQHO can add further value to your website localization initiatives by giving sensible advice on website localization strategy, content authoring practices, content management, internationalization, website localization best practices, and globalization management systems – with “scalability” and “predictability” being the key drivers!
