How to translate a site

Tribiq can provide a conversion and hosting service.

Alternatively contact one of our Partners. Or you can download Tribiq CMS Pro, host it on your own server, and have your designer do this.

In Tribiq CMS's Languages panel, add the languages that you want to add to your site.

Popular languages are already prepared for you, and you can easily define additional languages.

Tribiq's language export system is compatible with Google Translator Toolkit, Trados™ and other industry standard translation software.

Tribiq CMS is smart enough to only export content that is unique to a page.

Common phrases and messages that may occur anywhere on the site, such as form labels and error messages, are held in a central repository.

When exported, this file will contain the reference text of the site's original language, plus any phrases that are already translated.

For a high quality translation, send the exported web page files and the visitor phrase files to your trusted translator. 

For a quick machine translator, upload to Google Translator Toolkit.

Tribiq CMS's file format preserves all settings and styles, even of complex pages.

Import your central phrases. Then import the translated pages and use Preview Mode to check each page.

This gives you the opportunity to check all settings on the page, styling, and deal with any issues of word-length or wrapping that may arise.

When you publish the pages of the imported content, they will go live for your visitors to see.

The on-site language switcher automatically updates to show the new language.

Tribiq CMS can detect which language your visitor is using, from his browser settings. From this you can automatically send visitors who use a given language to the relevant language version of your home page.

Set up country-specific domains.

For example, use a .de top level domain to direct visitors to your German language home page.

Tribiq CMS can keep track of every time you Export a page for translation. So when your content changes on pages in the site's original language, you only need to translate the changes.

Export just the sections of the pages that have changed, and import the same sections, thus saving your translator time, and saving you money.
