Proxy web translation is a fully hosted, cloud‑based platform requiring minimal IT support. It has number of key advantages, including speed, easy editing, cost-effectiveness. Furthermore, there is no complex code, and full TM/Glossary integration. How does it work? Well, Translation Proxy intercepts the text content from your web page, on its way to the browser, and exchanges it for the equivalent content in the language chosen by the visitor.
This means you can offer your website in multiple languages, without any additional changes. Translation Proxy can also handle images, attachments, links and metadata (e.g. for SEO). Finally, optional caching ensures the languages remain in sync.
In other words, Proxy acts like a real-time interpreter between visitors and your server. It translates on-the-fly using a previously created Translation Memory, and places the translated text into your unaltered website, in the visitors’ chosen language.
The proxy can also crawl your site (as often as you choose) to search for new or updated content. Automatic content discovery makes live editing easy. When the Proxy identifies new content, it delivers it to your Account Manager for translation, and updates the TM. Translation proxy can also integrate with a machine translation service for real-time translations.
As a result, your team will no longer waste time on managing the translation process. They can focus instead on creating original content, in their own language, that adds real value to your business. Meanwhile, Google can index your translated segments (within the same domain), further contributing to your online marketing efforts.
