Everyone Else:

To create a multilingual website with images and videos that viewers can switch between, you'll need to implement language-specific content and potentially use a translation management system or proxy translation. This allows users to select their preferred language and see the corresponding text, images, and videos. Keeping all versions synchronized requires careful management of content and potentially using a platform that supports version control or automated synchronization.

Here's a breakdown of the steps involved:

1. Content Translation:

Website Text:
Translate the website's text content into your target languages. You can use translation services, hire professional translators, or use a combination of both.
Images:
Translate image captions, alt text, and any text embedded within the images themselves. Consider creating separate image files with text in each language, or using a translation tool that can overlay text on images.
How-to Videos:
- Dubbing: Record new audio tracks in each target language to replace the original audio.
- Subtitles: Add translated subtitles to the videos.
- Separate Videos: Create entirely separate video files with translated audio and captions.

2. Language Selection:

Language Switcher:
Implement a language switcher (e.g., a dropdown menu or flag icons) on your website that allows users to select their preferred language.
Reference:TranslatePress
Language-Specific URLs:
Consider using separate URLs for each language version of your website (e.g., example.com/en, example.com/es, example.com/fr).
Reference:Google
Automatic Redirection:
Detect the user's browser language and automatically redirect them to the corresponding language version of the website.
Reference:WPML
URL Structure:
If using separate URLs, ensure that your URLs are SEO-friendly for each language.

3. Synchronization:

Consistent Content:
Use a consistent content management system (CMS) across all language versions to ensure content updates are synchronized across all versions.
Reference:Translata
Version Control:
Implement version control for your translated content to track changes and maintain consistency.
Reference:QuickSilver
Testing:
Regularly test your website to ensure that the language switcher is working correctly and that all content is translated accurately.
Reference:TranslatePress

4. Tools and Technologies:

Website Builders:
Platforms like WordPress, Wix, and Squarespace offer built-in multilingual features or plugins for easier translation management.
Translation Services:
Services like Google Translate, Weglot, and others can automate much of the translation process.
Video Editing Software:
Tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve can be used to edit and synchronize video content.

Example Implementation (using a CMS like WordPress):

Install a Translation Plugin:
Search for a multilingual plugin for your CMS (e.g., WPML for WordPress).
Translate Content:
Use the plugin's interface to translate your website's text, images, and videos.
Configure Language Switcher:
The plugin will likely provide a way to add a language switcher to your website .
Test:
Thoroughly test the language switcher and the synchronization of content across different language versions.

Budget Reality (server-based approach)

Scenario	Head-count	Annual payroll	Office & overhead	DevOps & hosting	Total yearly burn
5 how-to videos	2 specialists	$200,000	$25,000	$10,000	≈ $235,000
3 RTL sites	1 specialist	$110,000	$12,000	$6,000	≈ $128,000
Combined load	3 specialists	$310,000	$37,000	$16,000	≈ $363,000

JIT-TR cost for the same workload
$200+ / month subscription — $2,400+ / year. No head-count. No overhead. No DevOps.

Can you really expect SEO gains to bridge a $360,000 gap?

Will translated page-rank improvements alone drive an extra $30,000 / month
- just to cover cost? a an what will net profit dor all that extra word?

Or is a $2,400+ / year turnkey proxy the faster, safer path to cash-flow positive global reach?

Do you really want all that staff?

Staff required Number and type of people needed to set up and maintain your translations—across tech, content, and QA.	3+ staff (dev, ops, QA) Why it matters: org charts, meetings, HR, and compliance can distract from growth.	multiple developers Why it matters: ongoing tickets and tech complexity raise costs.	0 devs (just one non-tech content owner) Why it matters: you spend all your time on your business.
Typical lag time for updates How long it takes from changing text on your site to seeing it translated and live.	minutes to hours Why it matters: delays hurt agility for campaigns and promotions.	hours to days Why it matters: long cycles delay critical fixes.	seconds to minutes Why it matters: real-time edits keep your site fresh and responsive.
Provider interface requirements How much coordination is needed with your translation vendor to make things work day to day.	coordination around API keys, sync schedules, QA Why it matters: adds project and vendor management overhead.	developers must edit locales, rebuild, and deploy Why it matters: pulls developers off core work.	non-tech team uses visual dashboard Why it matters: enables true marketing ownership without engineering.
Partnership model Think of this like a relationship—how deep you’re tied to the vendor or tool over time, and what it costs to leave.	like a marriage—deep entanglement; vendor failure or exit is painful Why it matters: costly to exit or migrate.	like a franchise—long-term tie with rigid practices Why it matters: inflexible code, future rework.	like a hotel—use it, leave it, no mess Why it matters: full freedom, no lock-in, no cleanup.
SEO & crawlability Will Google and Bing see and index your translated pages properly?	requires extra config or snapshots Why it matters: missteps here can destroy your rankings.	requires SSR builds per language Why it matters: poor crawler visibility in new markets.	auto-optimized for multilingual indexing Why it matters: ensures all languages are search-visible.
Cost model How you’re charged: per word, flat rate, by page volume, or staff time.	per-word or per-page fees Why it matters: costs grow unpredictably with new content.	free/open source, but expensive in developer hours Why it matters: ongoing team cost hidden in salaries.	flat-rate or usage tiers Why it matters: no surprises, budgetable, scalable.
Support & training How easy it is for your team to learn and get help using the system.	basic docs; plugin ecosystem Why it matters: may slow onboarding or require consultants.	steep learning curve, especially for non-devs Why it matters: slower time-to-value, brittle tribal knowledge.	intuitive dashboard with live walkthrough Why it matters: teams can launch without waiting on tech.

Comparison of Translation Solution Requirements
Category	Weglot (proxy)	react-i18next / vue-i18n (client)	JIT-TR (proxy)
Integration effort Snippet - a one-line script you paste into your webpage. HOC - a wrapper around components to inject translation logic. CLI Plugin - tool developers run in a command line to automate tasks.	snippet + HOC/CLI plugin Why it matters: avoids dev overhead but plugin updates can introduce version-skew risk.	install lib + wrap every string Why it matters: high developer workload slows feature delivery.	single snippet, zero wrappers Why it matters: minimal integration effort reduces time-to-market.
Boilerplate in code Trans / t() - special tags or functions used to mark text for translation. Boilerplate - extra code that clutters templates.	moderate Why it matters: scattered setup steps make maintenance harder.	high (`` / `{{ t() }}` everywhere) Why it matters: template clutter increases cognitive load for developers. Why it matters: template clutter increases cognitive load for developers.	none Why it matters: keeps your code clean and focused.
Dynamic props & interactivity Props - live values like user name or date passed into a component. Re-render -page automatically updates when new info arrives.	may require manual re-render or HOC tweaks Why it matters: extra debugging for dynamic content.	works naturally, but tied to provider/context Why it matters: context mismatches can break UI updates.	works out-of-the-box—reads updated DOM or API-driven content Why it matters: preserves interactivity without extra code.
SSR / SSG support SSR - Server-Side Rendering. SSG - Static Site Generation. Both help with speed and SEO, but can slow updates and increase build complexity.	plugin needed for Next/Nuxt Why it matters: framework-specific setup adds configuration overhead.	built into frameworks Why it matters: initial support exists but still requires rebuilds for text changes.	transparent—proxy handles pre-rendered HTML too Why it matters: no framework-specific code or rebuilds needed.
Real-time content updates Auto-crawl -your site is scanned periodically to detect text changes. Manual re-scan -click a button to force that scan.	auto-crawl but dashboard re-sync often needed Why it matters: risk of stale content delays marketing campaigns.	rebuild + redeploy Why it matters: long update cycle slows down content fixes.	instant: auto-crawl or manual “Re-scan” in dashboard Why it matters: immediate copy updates empower non-dev teams.
Framework-agnostic Framework-agnostic -works with any kind of website, not tied to one tool like React or Vue.	yes Why it matters: broad coverage but limited JS translation.	no Why it matters: locked to specific libraries and frameworks.	yes Why it matters: one solution for all sites, old and new.
Maintainability Refers to how easy it is to update and support over time—especially for non-developers.	medium Why it matters: fragmented dashboards and plugins increase support burden.	low (many JSON files + context) Why it matters: high maintenance overhead diverts resources.	high (centralized dashboard) Why it matters: streamlined management keeps teams productive.
Handling edge-cases Edge cases -uncommon page behaviors (popups, animations, or dynamic data) that might break translation.	limited custom rules Why it matters: fallback behaviors can yield translation gaps.	full control via code Why it matters: heavy implementation burden for rare scenarios.	full control via dashboard rules & API Why it matters: flexible without code changes.
