Isalin ang Iyong Website sa Spanish gamit ang ConveyThis

Today, I would like to invite you to learn a bit more about my native language, Spanish. The 4^th most spoken language worldwide, spoken by millions, loved by thousands and learned by a lot of people, this language has shown its relevance increases day by day. As a translator with a business background, most of the topics I have found in the ConveyThis blog, as well as the services they offer, sound familiar to me. From starting your own business to creating a marketing plan using several strategies, defining your audience, translating your website, measuring campaign results and adjusting strategies for future campaigns.

When we talk about your business and its growing process, you may want to expand your success and let a wider audience know about you. This means you could reach a new market, a new country and in consequence, you may need to spread the words in a different language. If you are interested in the Spanish speaking audience, from Mexico to Patagonia, including Spain, will probably look at you if you promote the right message, with the proper words thanks to an accurate translation and proper localization.

If we talk about translation, an accurate one is important for any business and this can be provided by a professional that is usually challenged by the efficiency of machine translation in terms of speed. Although automatic translation has improved over time thanks to the neural nets, the accuracy, tone, grammar and local point of view come from a native speaker.

Sa ngayon, mayroon kaming mga serbisyo ng software sa pagsasalin na ibinibigay ng isang makina at isang propesyonal na tao tulad ng ConveyThis. Dito maaari kang lumikha ng isang account, mag-log in at subukan ang libreng serbisyo sa pagsasalin ng website, gamit ang plugin, maaari mong isalin ang iyong website sa loob ng ilang minuto mula sa English sa humigit-kumulang +90 na wika, kung ihahambing sa kanilang mga kakumpitensya, maging ang mga bayad na bersyon ng serbisyong ito ay ganap na karapat-dapat.

Ang pag-alam sa Espanyol ay isa sa mga pinaka ginagamit na wika, hindi nakakagulat kung mayroon kang katutubong nagsasalita ng Espanyol sa iyong staff, ibig sabihin, maaari kang makakuha ng tulong sa mga tuntunin ng edisyon mula sa isang mapagkakatiwalaang pinagmulan sa sarili mong kumpanya.

Ang ilang mga aspeto na isasaalang-alang ng mga kumpanya ng pagsasalin bago nila aktwal na isalin ang website ng iyong negosyo, kung minsan, kahit ang sarili nilang mga kumpanya ay nakakaranas ng sarili nilang serbisyo upang maunawaan kung paano ito gumagana mula sa pananaw ng kliyente. Ang layunin ay:

– Making the product better.
– Finding the balance between machine and human translation so the results meet your business needs.
– Putting themselves in their customer’s shoes, see from their perspective the translation process.

I want you to imagine I’m part of the ConveyThis staff and interested in translating my website, as a client, I’ll go through the process I mentioned before.

First: I create my ConveyThis free account and login.
Second: I select the native language and target language, in this case, Spanish.
Third: copy my website URL and it’s done!

The next step is where the Spanish speakers’ staff would support me to determine my translation’s accuracy.

Once I have my website translate and checked by the staff, it’s time to decide which pages will be translated by a professional like those pages with technical information, clients’ testimonials, partners’ reviews, or pages with a specific tone, such as descriptions of partners.

I would like to create my own glossary in case I need certain words, their use and meanings that may vary through the years. This is when I use the ConveyThis translation memory, this may help us use the same words in different contexts.

Now here is what ConveyThis has to say about it:

“A translation memory is a centralized database which stores all the original and translation segments. It acts like a caching layer to quickly reuse the repeating content. This in turn speeds up the website speed and keeps the 3rd party API services vacant. ConveyThis users its own translation memory in order to make the life of our users efficient and recycle all similar content for the future reuse. It is secure and shared only with same tenants who have the ownership of their domains and accounts. Unlike other technical providers, we do not expose our clients memorized contents to other users. This increases our internal costs, but this is the right thing to do. Your data is your data. It’s no one else’s business.

The more data a translation memory contains, the more effective it is. Thanks to our translation memory, you can ensure the consistency of your content, lower costs, cut down on back-and-forth exchanges and speed up translation times”.

There are words like “Twitter”, “Squarespace” that we would not like to be translated because they refer to property material or brands. Here is where we check the information with Spanish speaker professionals to determine which words are translated in a certain way or not translated at all.

When we communicate with our customers and how we do it say a lot about our brand’s voice or tone, the message must be coherent for your target country, with the proper words in the right language.

That accuracy is accomplished with the machine translation supported by professional translators

The whole translation process could be fast thanks to human proofreading and edition, simple because they are professionals, reassuring because even before the pro translation, the website would be easy to navigate for Spanish speakers, and effective because in the end even using my own staff helped me confirm the quality of the Spanish translation.

Again, ConveyThis let us know how this translation memory works:

“ConveyThisTM recycles all your translated content and counts all the repeated segments. Its unique algorithms enable it to identify and suggest previously translated segments to translators in real time.

ConveyThisTM is an extremely secure SaaS technology. It makes it possible for several translators to work simultaneously on the same project directly in the Cloud.

Ang ConveyThisTM ay patuloy na pinapahusay gamit ang mga bagong function at maaaring gamitin bilang isang foundational database para sanayin ang mga dalubhasang translation engine".

Sa wakas, bilang isang tagasalin na may karanasan sa mga application na ito sa pagsasalin ng makina, masasabi kong napakabisa ang mga ito pagdating sa pagsasalin ng malaking bilang ng mga salita sa maikling panahon ngunit lubos kong inirerekomenda ang mga mata ng isang propesyonal dahil palaging may mga detalye tungkol sa konteksto, gramatika at lokal na mga parirala na walang mas nakakaalam kaysa sa isang katutubong nagsasalita. Pagdating sa iyong website na isinalin sa Espanyol, sigurado ako na ito ay magbubukas ng mga pinto at isang ganap na bagong merkado upang ibahagi ang iyong mga produkto.
