Editor's review
This is a software tool that helps create different language versions of a website content.
Site Translator is designed for web site owners and web developers who need a simple, do-it-yourself solution to web site language translation. You can translate virtually any site designed in HTML, ASP.NET, PHP, PHP3, or PHTML into multiple languages with a few mouse clicks. Entire site could be translated in one go. This is essential as, once on the web, your site is visible to any visitor from any country. Stats say about two thirds of them do not understand English. It which case the more number of language versions of the site is available, you are likely to make more number of visitors interested in the content. The tool is able to convert all the HTML, ASP, ASP.NET (ASPX), ASCX, PHP, XML and CHM files from one language to another. It is only the text that is changed, the codes are not. The tool also links the appropriate translated pages without your intervention being required.
The languages this tool can handle include Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Filipino, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish. These languages are translated with the help of dictionaries available from DeskShare. The initial version of the software comes with English and Spanish capabilities. When creating a translated version, you need to exclude specific words and phrases such as company and personal names from translation. You can also exclude the contents of certain XML and HTML tags. It uses a translation memory to speed up the process by remembering commonly-used phrases and sentences. The interface is simple, intuitive. That makes it easy to use. This is a nice and handy tool for the job. You need to remember though; there can be situations where you may need manual interventions as not all language snippets of text can be translated easily to another.
