  • 1.  Website translation

    Posted 07-07-2022 06:21 PM
    Currently we have select website content translated manually by staff not dedicated for this purpose.  We don't want it to become a burden with new content or content maintenance and we potentially want to post in languages that our staff do not know.  The concern with using Google Translate is due to the health/medical content we post.  What are the rest of you doing for website translation?  Any pros and cons?

    Hi @Steve Fisher! Thanks so much for reaching out. I'm catching up on emails right now as I have been out of the office recently. We similarly are using staff members to translate select websites in Spanish, though it is very in-frequent. My husband used to work for some translation websites that were relatively affordable, I can look into that for you and ask this question at our next meet-up.​
