How to correctly create a link in your translation:

The way that we create links on the platform has slightly altered over time. To make sure that you are using the correct format in your translations, please take a look at the following information:

To correctly create a link, highlight the word (or word string) that requires the link in your target text. Right click on the word(s) and select Insert link.

A dialogue box will appear. You then need to ensure that the correct code appears in the URL code field (our system uses codes rather than web addresses for link URLs). No other text or numbers should appear in the URL box other than the code.

The following are the correct codes for the corresponding words in EN, you will need to use them accordingly in your translation.

  1. References to BigBuy:

##CMS_0##

  1. References to wholesale price:

##CMS_8##

  1. References to drop shipping:

##CMS_9##

  1. References to dropshipping shops:

##CMS_10##

  1. References to become a distributor:

##CMS_15##

  1. References to wholesale packs

##CMS_34##

 

The Text to display should be your target text term, with no spaces before or after.

In the Target, you should see the word None.

Links

IMPORTANT NOTE:

When a product website address is included in the text, the link can be copied and pasted from the source text. Once you have done this, you will still need to right click and select Insert link. You should then check that the URL code and Text to display both show the website address. Importantly, for this type of link you will need to set the Target to New Window in the drop down menu.

Links Web

Many thanks and please get in touch with the team if you have any queries about links in your translations!

Professional Translation Team: Stefanie Crolla

Allow me to introduce myself: my name is Stefanie and I’ve been a Dutch translator for BigTranslation for several years now. I was born in Belgium and am currently living in the Netherlands.

translator-dutchProfessional translation into Dutch:

Allow me to introduce myself: my name is Stefanie and I’ve been a Dutch professional translator for BigTranslation for several years now. I was born in Belgium and am currently living in the Netherlands. During my academic career, where I achieved a BA in Language and Literature, MA in Business Communication and MA in Journalism, one thing was always on my mind: I wanted a career as a professional translator, and one way or another I was going to achieve it. And I did!

A passion for translation

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been passionate about languages and professional translation. As a kid, I was always looking for spelling mistakes in newspapers and magazines. I would read the subtitles on television to see how translation and subtitling worked. I would watch kids’ television in French, English and Spanish without subtitles, just to develop my language skills. Because that’s what it is: language is a passion, professional translation is a passion. Trying to find the right words, putting them in the right place, conveying connotations and meanings that are created by putting specific words together and helping someone else understand something they never could before. Without professional translation and translators, we might have never heard of some faraway countries, we would never have understood the lyrics to our favourite songs and we wouldn’t be able to follow a movie in another language.

Translation as transferral

To translate is more than just replacing one word after another with words of a different language. To translate is to replace one language with another, transferring the meaning of the text, but also conveying the words between the lines, all the nuances and suggestions. It’s like the famous English writer Anthony Burgess once said: “Translation is not a matter of words only: it is a matter of making intelligible a whole culture.”

What Languages Should I Translate My Website Into?

One of the toughest decisions a company will face when carrying out website translations is deciding which markets to target first and, consequently, which languages to translate into.

We work with specialist native Spanish translators so that you can translate your website effectively.

One of the toughest decisions a company will face when carrying out website translations is deciding which markets to target first and, consequently, which languages to translate into. A great example would be the Spanish market: Spanish is one of our most popular target languages.
