on To many english words in the arabic version?If you find a lot of english in your arabic version of your site – go through it page by page, note the words and look up the arabic translation.

You can change nearly everything through the translate interface!

2 Content /profile translation

Translate, save and proofread your translation

In a bilingual site every page, every view has a translation

You can and should split up the translation process and translate the taxonomy later!

Translate the profile

Use several browsers and preview your content not logged in – and try all the ”big” browsers: Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome

Prepare youself for different user experiences!

Publish and unpublish your profiles so you can see how the main public will see your site and proofread it thouroughly!

Preview and proofread your content

Not everything can be translated – but you should give it a try!

Make your site consistent

It’s worth it.

3 Taxonomy translation

Be organised, translate everything and leave no holes behind!

» Use the Translate Taxonomy/Menu option in the Administration menu

» Start with the groups of taxonomy, fill out both english and arabic

» Filter every group of taxonomy – and translate every term!

» Save every change you make – and be sure to translate every new term, once you’ve added it to a group of taxonomy
