About Web Lite

Web Lite specializes in language translation and Internet technology. Our main office is situated in Vancouver, British Columbia. We also have representatives in China. The two companies provide three different kinds of services but both share the same goal: helping our clients – through innovative technology, industry experience, and a commitment to client satisfaction; to create effective, user-friendly ways to expand their business and reach more potential customers.

We provide turn-key translation services to companies seeking a professional, cost-effective alternate language website. Using our specialized SWeTE technology and streamlined work-flow management processes we deliver high-quality alternate language websites that are easy to set-up and maintain.

Open Source Translation Engine

Web Lite's Simple Website Translation Engine, or SWeTE, is the core technology behind Web Lite’s translation services. As of release two, SWeTE has been released as open source software to the design community. Software designers and technicians with some IT background would be able to download it for free and try it out to see if the solution is right for them.

Faqs

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I have to move my website over to Web Lite's servers?

    No. You continue to manage your website just the same as you’ve always done.

  • Where is the translated language hosted?

    Your original website stays where it is. The alternate language translations are either hosted on our secure server in Web Lite’s database or inside your own server environment.

  • My website is dynamically generated by a database. Will your technology work for me?

    Yes. Web Lite’s software works with the resulting HTML pages from your database, so that it can work with complex dynamic websites in the same way that it works with small static websites.

  • I plan to change my website’s look and feel. How will this affect my translations?

    Web Lite’s sophisticated technology will automatically detect these changes and update the translated versions. If you change the look of your website, Web Lite will automatically adapt by updating the translated versions to match exactly. If the text content is the same, then no changes will be made to the translated text. Web Lite will just automatically rearrange the translated versions to match the original. This process is simple and seamless because Web Lite doesn’t actually create a mirror of your site. It dynamically layers the translations over your original website leaving you with a hassle-free experience.

  • If I make changes to my website, do you need to retranslate the entire page?

    No. Only the text that was changed needs to be retranslated.

  • Are you creating a mirror site?

    No. Most translation providers create a full copy of your website’s files and translate them. This causes all kinds of difficulties and complexities when the original content is updated and the translations need to be changed accordingly. Web Lite, by contrast, uses advanced software techniques to replace the original text. As a result, no mirror page is created.

  • How long does it take to convert a website?

    It takes literally minutes to add a new language to your source pages. The translation obviously depends on the size of the website and how much static versus dynamic content there is. Please contact us for an accurate assessment.

  • Do I have to install any new software on my website?

    Other than some minor adjustments to your source pages, there is no software to install on your existing website. Depending on your needs, you might want to install the translation server in your environment yourself and have it hosted on our secure servers.
