Should Your Website Have Multilingual Functionality?
One area of web design I don’t personally know much about or have much experience with is multilingual websites or translation services.
That’s exactly why I wanted to bring someone on to the podcast who knows a lot about this side of the industry to help share some of the best practices for making sure our websites can be read and viewed by folks who don’t speak our native language.
In this episode, Dean Jones of WPML.org, one of the leading multilingual plugins for WordPress, not only shares best practices for multilingual websites but also busts some of the common myths associated with having a website that’s translated properly.
We cover a lot including:
✅Why having a multilingual website is more important than you might think
✅How it affects accessibility
✅Whether or not you should hire a person to translate or if you can use a tool
✅What role AI is playing in multilingual functionality now
✅And how translation tools are handling cultural slang differences like “what French Fries are called in the UK”
I honestly learned a ton after this conversation and it really made me rethink how I view the importance of multilingual options on my websites.
Enjoy!
