Web Localization

Web Localization Process - for a multinational company planning to build a website for its Japanese office

If a multinational company plans to build a website for its Japanese office, we offer a wide variety of localization options. One option is to localize the website from English to Japanese while maintaining the original image. Another is to build a website from the bottom up, following the look and feel of the original website. In addition, we can translate existing contents and add Japanese original contents. We can provide marketing tools including database building and email newsletters. In addition, we can also provide a web server.

Providence's web localization projects consist of five phases for delivering the best solutions to meet customer needs.

Phase 1:
Gather information from you to understand your concept for web localization

  • Discuss with you to understand the purpose of the website to be localized.
  • Clarify your critical requirements.
  • Analyze the localization targets, website structure, navigation, and other such issues.

Phase 2:
Develop a plan for your web localization

  • Decide the targets of localization, website structure, navigation, and delivery schedule, in accordance with your goals, budget, and time requirements.
  • Create a prototype and propose a user-friendly design for the entire website.

Phase 3:
Localize the website and evaluate the solution

  • Begin the actual localization work.
  • Create each web page.
  • After sufficient testing in our test lab, request your evaluation of the site.
  • Address any issues that your evaluation raises.
  • If necessary, repeat this phase.

Phase 4:
Implement the website

  • Make the website public.
  • Analyze access logs and keywords.
  • Refine the website to increase web visitor counts and include Search Engine Optimization service, if necessary.

Phase 5:
Maintain, Manage, Operate

  • Update the information, added and renewed daily, to the localized website.
  • Localize contents and create Japanese original contents, if necessary.
