Oasis Land multi-lingual site translation

We are pleased to announce that we have completed the upgrade of the Oasis Land (www.oasis-land.com) website including translating all of the content into the Chinese and Russian languages.

Oasis Land wanted to exploit their offer in the Russian and Chinese markets, deciding that the best way to achieve this was have their entire website available in the native languages for these markets.

After reviewing their current website we decided to upgrade the site implement a multi-language translation system into their WordPress website. There was a number of considerations for us in undertaking this project:

• Ensuring that the website’s search rankings were not affected
• The website layout needed to be consistent and render correctly in each language
• Current and future content needed to be professionaly translated

The solution was to implement WPML enabling Oasis Land to have each page in English, Russian and Chinese.

WPML had the power and flexibility to not only translate regular text but also to handle theme/template translation using strings.

 

Having the multi-language facility was only part of the solution. Oasis Land also needed to have all of their website content professional translated.

One of the reasons Optimease elected to use WPML for this project was its seamless integration with ICanLocalize which enables content to be sent by the client to professional (human) translators with the click of a button from within their WordPress CMS interface. The website content is translated and can also be reviewed by a different translator and automatically sent back upon completion to appear on the website. The level of automation ensures that Oasis Land can have professional translations of their website content while they focus on their day job.
