Overview: Localizing Web Sites

Alchemy CATALYST supports the localization, testing and engineering of Web Sites. Web pages are localised using the visual HTML Editor, while supporting files are localized using ezParse rules, the String Editor or the XML Editor.

This file is then translated by a professional translator and then tested and engineered by a team of localization professionals.
