Evidence for review
What DD can show before a buyer commits.
This is not a public case study claim. It is DD-owned evidence a buyer can request when the work needs vendor review before a scope is approved.
Ask for proof detailsReview the request and evidence details
- Buyer type
- Website localization services product manager, internationalization lead, or content strategist checking market fit, string context, term lists, and import method before release.
- Problem
- The buyer needs website localization services scoped by target markets, source files, term lists, character limits, QA approach, and import method before release.
- Scope
- Website localization services work scoped with a proposed coordination contact and review records agreed for the request type.
- Constraint
- This page cannot rely on a public case study yet; it must point to DD-owned proof artifacts and disclosure-safe process evidence.
- DD action
- DD confirms the inputs, missing details, staffing option, quality check, and delivery record before production work begins.
- Evidence available
- Private proof can include a request-specific checklist, redacted QA summary format, delivery record format, and sourcing or reviewer notes.
- Outcome
- The buyer can judge whether DD fits the requirement before sending production files or adding this service to a vendor shortlist.
- Disclosure status
- DD-owned proof only. Public outcomes require client approval; redacted process artifacts can be shared when terms allow.
How the work runs
-
Confirm scope
String files, target languages, multilingual URL strategy, hreflang plan, and QA approach recorded in writing before any work begins.
-
Wire up context
Screenshots or live-build access provided to translators so target text fits where it actually appears, not where a spreadsheet says it should.
-
Translate with constraints applied
Character-length limits per language pair, translated metadata, and localized slugs handled at the file level rather than bolted on after launch.
-
QA the build
Target-language pages checked for layout, truncation, missing strings, and hreflang correctness against the live build before delivery.
-
Deliver platform-ready files
Return translated strings in the agreed format with any scoped hreflang plan and translator notes. The buyer's technical owner validates import and rendering in the CMS or repo.
What DD checks before quoting
- Source file review Completeness, legibility, format, and any visible damage or quality issues.
- Pair confirmation Source → target language, variant, dialect, and script requirements.
- Purpose check Receiving office, certification or notarization need, and deadline driver.
- QA plan Review type, sample size, sign-off owner, and any client-specific checklist.
- Delivery format File type, naming convention, storage method, and handoff protocol.
- Risk note Known constraints, specialist availability, and contingency if timing shifts.
Example scope — actual checks vary by project type and client requirements.
Each website localization project starts with a written request check confirming source CMS, string file format, target languages, multilingual URL strategy, hreflang plan, character-length constraints, image localization needs, and QA approach. Strings are translated with screenshots or live-build access for context so target text fits where it actually appears, not where a spreadsheet says it should. Multilingual SEO (hreflang tags, translated metadata, localized slugs) is built into the file structure, not added later. Turnaround for a 10,000-word site into one target language is confirmed in writing per scope before work begins; multi-language launches and continuous localization are quoted with a confirmed delivery schedule in writing.
For localization work, DD checks files, screenshots, term lists, character limits, feedback needs, and release format.

Questions teams ask first
What source formats are supported?
Common inputs include JSON, XLIFF, CSV, PO, RESX, .properties, and CMS exports. Send a sample export and identify the CMS or localization tool, permissions, and release workflow. DD will confirm format compatibility, any conversion or integration work, and the return method before quoting; automatic sync is not assumed.
How is multilingual SEO handled?
The request check can cover hreflang, translated titles and descriptions, alt text, and localized slugs. Confirm the URL strategy and who implements the tags in the site build. A file-level plan can be included in the agreed output, but correct rendering must be tested in the buyer's build.
How are character-length constraints managed?
Source-string length, target-language expansion factor, and any CMS or UI limit are reviewed before translation. Target-language strings can be longer or shorter than the source; test the actual text against per-line, grid, and container limits. Where a string would overflow its container, the translator writes a shorter target-language alternative and flags the original for design review.
How does the translator see context?
Screenshots of each page or live-build access (staging URL with target-language preview, or a tool like Lokalise's in-context editor) is the preferred setup. Without context, translators are translating spreadsheets, not pages, and spreadsheets do not tell you that a string is a button label, a hero headline, or a footer disclaimer. Context access is part of the request check.
Can a continuous localization workflow be set up?
A recurring workflow may be possible. Share the CMS or repo, localization tool, permissions, resource format, and release cadence. DD will assess connector or file-handoff options, technical ownership, review steps, and a test plan before committing to automated pickup or sync.
How long does a website localization project take?
Turnaround for a 10,000-word site (roughly a marketing site with product, blog, and policy pages) into one target language is confirmed in writing per scope before work begins. Larger sites, multi-language launches, and sites with strict review cycles are quoted with a confirmed delivery schedule in writing. Continuous localization runs on the cadence the source team prefers.
Are images and screenshots localized?
Yes when in scope. Localized images (banners with text, product shots with localized labels, screenshots showing localized UI) are produced from source design files (PSD, Figma export, SVG) so the layout matches the source rather than approximating it. Image localization is scoped per page rather than across the whole site by default, since most images do not need localization.
What about CMS-integrated workflows?
Identify your CMS, export format, permissions, and who will import the finished files. DD will check a representative export and confirm whether a file handoff, CMS import, or integration is feasible, with responsibilities and validation steps recorded in the scope. No named CMS connection is assumed.
