For web work, Spanish is the most common second web site language in the U.S. and the easiest to handle by developers. When the developer and translator work as a team, Spanish sites are a pleasure to create and to maintain. Working in Spanish can be smooth and effortless if translator and developer plan the project and organize text transfer methods before the job begins.

SPANISH ACCENTED CHARACTERS:
Working with Spanish is not without its pitfalls. Many developers have been horrified to see accented letters disappear or become squiggles because the graphic fonts chosen for artwork are not Spanish compatible. Or symbols such as "trademark" or "registered" become squares or underlines because the text font does not recognize the Spanish character set code. Spanish has different rules concerning capitalization, which changes artwork text and title look and feel, plus different rules on punctuation and hyphenation.
@I.S. is pleased to work with the developer to plan the localization process to assure that all goes smoothly and easily. If the developer desires, @I.S. can insert HTML text directly into a web page, with the developer doing final artistic "tweaking". Or for XMLs, coordinating with the developer to streamline the process of transferring the Spanish text into the database. Working together assures quick, easy localization and avoids hair-raising events.

For busy developers, @I.S. offers all major text replacement services for HTML, PhotoShop/Fireworks files and Flash localization.
