Multilingual websites in Indian languages, Arabic and more
A website in your customers' own language is easier to trust and easier to find. We build multilingual sites that handle Indian languages and right-to-left scripts properly, and that go live only after a native speaker has read them.
What it is
Multilingual Websites: what you get
A multilingual website is more than translated text. Each language needs its own pages and addresses, the right language tags so search engines show the correct version to the right readers, fonts that display every script, and a layout that works for the language. Right-to-left languages such as Arabic need the whole page mirrored, not only the paragraphs. Indian languages need the right fonts, correct line breaking and careful testing on phones.
We use AI-assisted translation for first drafts, because it is fast and gives your reviewers something to work from. Nothing goes live on that alone. A native speaker reviews each language before publication, and our checks catch missing translations, broken links and layout faults in each version. Your reviewer, or one we arrange with you, has the final word on wording.
We have done this for our own website. It runs in five languages, including right-to-left Arabic, with a translation pipeline and automated checks. We also build company websites for businesses in India and Canada, so we know the practical differences between markets.
Problems we solve
Typical problems this solves
Customers who prefer another language
Visitors leave when a site is not in their language. A proper language version keeps them reading and enquiring.
Search engines showing the wrong language
Without correct language tags and linked versions, the wrong page appears in results. We set them up properly.
Arabic or other right-to-left pages that look broken
Text is aligned, but the menus, forms and icons are not mirrored. We build the layout for right-to-left from the start.
Machine translation published unchecked
Unreviewed translation can read badly or change the meaning. A native-speaker review is part of the workflow.
Content that drifts out of date
When the main language changes, other versions lag behind. A translation workflow tracks what needs updating.

Engagement
How the engagement works
It starts with a free consultation. You tell us which languages and markets you want, and whether you already have translators. We follow with a written estimate. If you have no reviewers, we can discuss ways to find them, because the review step matters.
We build the structure and the first language, add further languages in turn, and set up checks so each addition is tested. After launch, we can host the site and maintain it, so new content flows through the same translation and review steps.
Questions
Common questions
Which languages can you support?
Most languages, including Indian languages and right-to-left scripts such as Arabic. We confirm fonts and layout for your chosen languages during the first consultation.
Is the translation done by AI?
AI-assisted tools produce first drafts. A native speaker reviews each language before the site goes live. We do not publish unreviewed machine translation.
Will search engines show the right language?
We add the correct language tags and link the versions together, so search engines can show each reader the matching version. We cannot promise rankings.
Can you add languages to an existing site?
Often yes. It depends on how the site was built, and we assess that first.
Can you also host and maintain the site?
Yes, through our business hosting and care plans.
How do you charge?
We do not publish prices. After a free consultation we give you a written estimate, so you know the scope before you commit.
