Hi gang,
Wish me luck. I am 99.5% sure that I landed a job redesigning a web site for
a multinational corporation. <deep breath> While it's quite exciting, I'm a
little intimidated because it's going to require me to grow. That's good for
me, right?
This particular customer would like for me to have the 20-page or so web site
that I design translated into Russian, French, German, Portuguese, and
Spanish. It's been a loonnnggg time since I could even speak Spanish
(margarita) or Russian (eta lampa), and I certainly don't know the rest. I'm
looking for the most efficient means to get this job done. Money will be a
big issue, as the customer is already complaining about the cost. Does anyone
know if there's a one-stop translation place out there, or should I ask
various members from the group to pitch me bids on a language of their
particular expertise, or am I going in totally the wrong direction? I don't
believe Alta Vista is up to the job of translating more than an e-mail.
Also, while this customer sells its products wholesale worldwide, they would
like to immediately start selling online their clothing items like hats and
shirts. I've looked at icat, and that seems OK, I guess. Since this would be
the first cart for me, I'm open for suggestions. If money becomes a big issue
around this, like merchant account payments and software/service payments, I
may throw up my hands and just give them a printout form to mail in.
It's weird that a corporation making soooo much money, and spending big bucks
on other types of advertising, could be so cost-conscious about what I
consider to be a pittance for what they're getting. Right now they're getting
2,000 - 3,000 hits a week; I'd throw money at those kind of hits, I think.
Thanks in advance,
Linda Wishman
