A short presentation from a multilingual user's point of view on how to improve multilingual websites.

1. Making the Web
Multilingual
What translators do
and why it matters

2. one language
into
another
- Translation is turning one language into another
- I translate from German (source language) into English (target language)
- Most translators only translate into their native language
- Be wary of translators who claim to be able to work into and out of multiple languages

3. Translator / Interpreter
- Translators work with written documents
- Interpreters work with the spoken word
- Translators are invisible
- Ideally, you should never know whether you’re reading a translation or not
