Web Page Translation Process
Prior to translation/retranslation, ensure the English page adheres to the following standards:
Once the English page has been created/updated, approved, and published, the translation process can begin.
When the international webpage has been translated, contact the regional manager(s) to notify them to review the translation.
Once the translated content has been approved by the regional manager(s), the translated international page will be published.
Tag Translation Strategy
Tags are translated at the infrastructure level - not at the page level.
If a tag is translated at the infrastructure level, it will display as translated in Coveo search pages or on cards.
Currently translated
- Content Type tag and subtags
- Topic tag and subtags
- Industry tag and subtags
- Product tag and subtags
- Solution tag and subtags
To be translated
- Country tag and subtags
- Region tag and subtags
Localization Strategy by Site Section
All language sites should translate the following types of pages:
- Home page
- Industries main page and relevant subpages
- Products main page and relevant subpages
- Solutions main page and relevant subpages
- About main page and relevant subpages
- Leadership (required relevant subpage)
- Contact
- Sitemap
Some sites have chosen to translate the following types of pages:
- Academia
- Careers
- Partners
- Support and Success
- Training
Localization Strategy by Component
Text
- Use relative path if link is available in local site
- Use absolute path if link is available only in en site, but not in local site (open in new tab)
Limitations of Text component or Text fields in other components
- Does not allow relative paths for another language site
- Does not track MediaValet ID for pdfs, if pdf has a MediaValet ID
Accordion
Change from prior strategy
CTA links previously appeared in a Text field (Text fields do not allow relative paths to the en site page)
Smart Button has been enabled within Accordion effective March 2025
Use a Smart Button component for links so that relative paths can be used
