They contain historical references, helpful information, and the dates of local events. They use language similar to printed travel guides<\/li>\n<li><strong>promotional websites<\/strong> tend to <strong>advertise hotels and resorts<\/strong> to tourists; they also contain information on special offers, holiday packages, and so on<\/li>\n<li><strong>commercial sites<\/strong> are exclusively intended for tourism purposes and seek to act <strong>as a bridge between customers and tourism service providers<\/strong>. Booking platforms are a very successful example of this category<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2>Translating websites for tourism purposes: key aspects<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurotrad.com\/en\/website-localization-services\/\">Website translations<\/a> must abide by several precise technical rules. First, it is essential to remember that online texts must be written and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurotrad.com\/en\/seo-translations\/\">translated in compliance with SEO rules<\/a>. This means that they need to be <strong>optimised for search engines<\/strong> (such as Google) to promote website visibility.<br \/>\nIn addition to focusing on translating the actual content of a website, <strong>professional translators<\/strong> must also be aware of the guidelines for writing texts optimised for search engines.<br \/>\nAs well as being optimised for search engines, texts written for tourist websites must also be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurotrad.com\/en\/magazine\/localization-meaning-advantages\/\">localised<\/a> so that they can be used effectively by target-language users. For example, translators need to use a <strong>register that is appropriate to the target culture, in addition to the correct measurement units and currencies<\/strong> (e.g. euros, dollars, or pound sterling) when localising texts.<br \/>\nThey may also need to <strong>rewrite or reformulate some parts of the text<\/strong> to make them more attractive to users from a particular culture.<\/p>\n<h2>The difficulties that come with translating tourism websites<\/h2>\n<p>Like other specialist sectors, <strong>the tourism industry uses its fair share of technical terms<\/strong>, which must be taken into account when translating websites for tourism purposes.<br \/>\n<strong>Slogans, phrases, and idioms are frequently used<\/strong> on promotional tourism websites to attract the attention of tourists. Finding a version of these expressions that makes sense in the target language is no mean feat. That&#8217;s why Eurotrad relies on specialised translators to generate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurotrad.com\/en\/tourism-translation\/\">tourist translations<\/a> .
