Web-Translations Monitor (WT Monitor)
Good websites are updated regularly, but it's often a challenge just to maintain the English website. When it comes to multilingual websites, keeping them in sync with the English used to be administrative, time consuming and expensive. Not any more.
WT Monitor makes it effortless and inexpensive to maintain your multilingual website. All you have to do is concentrate on the English, and let us do the rest.
The WT Monitor identifies all changes to your English site, from minor tweaks to new pages. Pages are automatically checked hourly against a cache. When a change or a new addition is found, the system automatically flags it for
localization. One of our qualified translators will then undertake the translation of the new content and a project manager will check it before uploading it. - You don't even need to tell us the site has changed!

Turnaround
On average, we'll update 100 words per hour. So your multilingual sites will normally be in sync within a few hours of a change being made to your English site. Although if you are a heavy publisher, (e.g. new content twice a day) we'll arrange to have translators to be on stand-by increasing the translation-turnaround capacity.
Can I maintain part of the site, i.e. not all pages?
Yes, absolutely. For example you might have a static product catalogue of 100 products for the Spanish site while the English changes on a daily basis, you may want the Spanish products to remain static but for news articles to be translated as they are released on the English site. With WT Monitor, anything is possible!
Do I have to schedule when I want to make changes?
No, you may update the site as-and-when you want. However if we do create a simple schedule it will increase the translation speed as we can arrange to have translators at the ready anticipating your news, hot off the press. For example: Publish news on Thursdays.
Technical
The WT Monitor can work independently, or as part of your existing content management system (CMS). It can work with simple static HTML pages as well as with complex dynamic database driven sites. WT Monitor is also totally secure, there is no need to install
software or change server settings.
