Q. How does your Free Website Translation tool work?
A. Our Free Website Translation tool is a small snippet of HTML code which you or your webmaster inserts on your web page. Once the code is inserted, readers can read your web page in other languages by selecting the translation language from a menu.

Q. Are there are any hidden costs in your your Free Website Translation service?
A. None whatsoever. The service is entirely free.

Q. Why are you giving away free services?
A. We are interested in the advertising value of having our link on your website.

Q. How accurate is Machine Translation?
A. In recent years, MT technology has improved considerably, making it suitable for a wide range of translation tasks. However, quality is still lower than human translation. Use of MT is not recommended for legal material, highly stylistic prose, catchy advertising slogans.

Q: Do you provide Human Translation of websites:
A. Yes we do. This service is also known as website localization. For more information on this service, please see http://www.gts-translation.com/human_website_translation.asp

Q: Which do you recommend: Machine Translation (MT) or Human Translation?
A. If your budget allows it, human translation of your website is recommended. Machine translation quality is not nearly as good as human translation. If you want a multilingual website without spending a fortune, and if you are willing to have texts that are not perfectly translated, MT is a good option.
