Global Arena provides document and website translation services in a vast array of languages. Global Arena uses an inventive and cutting edge translation proxy tool to translate and localize websites quickly and efficiently. The Translation Proxy tool allows for website translation into multiple languages, with each translation forming a layer on top of the original, allowing for multilingual versions of the same webpage without needing to make changes to the original. The tool also allows our translation teams to see their translations updated within the website in real-time, ensuring that the translations fit within the layout and graphical context of the site. The translation proxy tool has completely transformed Global Arena’s ability to translate and localize websites.
