- References and expressions adapted to the target country

To provide an integrated localized website, you may also need to consider:
- Keywords, description tags, and other invisible text used by search engines
- Character-encoding for non-Western writing systems

Comparison: AI vs. Human Translation
AI translation has improved dramatically in the last decade, but it still has several key weaknesses that human translators can spot right away.
> Context and nuance
- AI often struggles to interpret tone, intent, and implied meaning—especially in ambiguous sentences.
- For example, “bank” could mean a financial institution or a riverbank; AI may choose the wrong sense without sufficient surrounding context.
- In many languages, “you” can be formal or informal, masculine or feminine, singular or plural or triple plural (as in Arabic), or a combination. The AI default (usually masculine formal) may be incorrect and offensive to the audience (such as a group of professional businesswomen).
- Humor, sarcasm, and idioms are particularly tricky (“kick the bucket” might be translated literally).
> Cultural adaptation (“transcreation”)
- AI usually translates word-for-word or phrase-for-phrase, but doesn’t fully adapt for cultural norms, local idioms, or audience expectations.
- A marketing slogan might sound natural in one culture but awkward or even offensive in another.
> Register and formality
- In many languages (e.g., Spanish, French, Japanese), the choice between formal and informal address is crucial.
- AI sometimes mixes them within a document or chooses the wrong level for the situation (e.g., using the informal “tu” instead of the formal “vous” in a professional French email).
> Domain-specific accuracy
- Technical, legal, or medical texts require precise terminology that AI might mistranslate without a specialized glossary.
- AI may also “hallucinate” plausible-sounding but incorrect terms when faced with rare or industry-specific vocabulary.
> Formatting and consistency
- Long documents can show inconsistent terminology across sections.
- AI might also drop formatting, reorder bullet points, or misalign tables and captions.
> Ethical and privacy concerns
- Online AI translation tools often process and store text on external servers, creating confidentiality risks.
- In regulated industries, this can breach laws like HIPAA, GDPR, or attorney–client privilege.
