5. Navigation considerations
Some languages force you to apply some changes in the design and navigation of your website. For example, if you have a vertical menu bar, you may put it in the left of your pages for English pages and in the right for Arabic pages because Arabic is a RTL (right to left) language and people are used to start reading pages from right to left. However this is not a rule, but it is better to consider it in designing pages.
6. Use text isntead of graphics where possible
Graphics or images containing text, will take longer to localize and are not as easy to translate as HTML text. Thus it is recommended to consider replacing text in a graphic with HTML text where possible; this will also help your visibility on search engines because search engines cannot read graphics. Often the formatting graphical text in Asian languages (double-byte character sets) may require special computing tools which can add to your cost & time resources. It is much easier to use text and encode your pages in Unicode. However, we all know that design and an appealing website is very important to attract visitors, especially in the adult business. So, if you cannot help using graphic elements for text, we can assist you with the editing needed to accomodate the new text content.
