Hi,
Can anyone recommend a translation service/company which will help me convert an English language website in to 10-15 foreign language versions and produce SEO friendly versions of the site? I am looking for quality of translation as well as strong SEO performance in the new foreign languages.
Many thanks,
Tom

Thanks, I'll look them up.
Integration with the CMS would be nice-to-have, but primarily looking for a translation service who understand the basics of SEO for the static pages.

Hi Tom
A lot of the search agencies featured in our Search Engine Marketing Buyers Guide provide this now.
However, a few that have had explicit offerings in multilingual SEO for a while that I'm aware of:
WebCertain also run the multilingual SEO forums if you want to look through the posts there or ask questions.

<p>If you don't have a CMS, I can recommend a Search Engine Friendly option, which also makes it easy to maintain the foreign langauge versions, as you make changes to the English original.</p>

We have an article on how to retain SEO during the translation process which means that you could use any localisation company. Hiowever, the reality is that most companies will not follow such a process.
It is as easy to get this right as it is to get it wrong, but hard to undo the mess if you get it wrong. I have been involved in many large-scale web localisations, so if you would luike some advice please let me know. Ian - Search Laboratory.
