XLIFF Translation Suggestions
Hello!
I have been tasked with converting some of our courses from English to Spanish. Unfortunately, we do not have a team that I can work with for making these translations. I also have no idea...
Hi Tyler, How best to translate your content will depend on your target audience (for example internal employees or external customers), how important it is that the content is correct (for example is there a risk to life or potential legal ramifications, or will an incorrect translation damage your brand), your budget, and other factors. You could use free online Machine Translation (although this carries many risks), or you could work with an individual freelance translator (if you are only translating into Spanish and you can handle all of the localization engineering yourself this could work, try proz.com), or you could outsource the localization to a translation company.
Using automated translations rather than a human translator will give different results for different subject matters, writing styles and languages so whether it worked well or not for other people the result might not be the same for your courses.
I work in localization so if you would like to discuss your need further just let me know.
