What is Globalising Websites

Handbook of Research on E-Learning Standards and Interoperability: Frameworks and Issues
Websites require careful internationalization, while graphics must be stored in source-file format and made available to localizers. Beyond design issues, effective web site globalization requires the use of technology to track and respond to changes in source content, as well as to manage the decisions as to what should and should not be translated.

Abstract
Recently, ontologies have been applied for localisation of e-learning content in order to promote existing learning services to semantic-aware and intelligent localisation services. This chapter presents a localisation-aware semantic e-learning approach to integrate multilingual content provision, learning process and learner personality in an integrated semantic e-learning framework. The author proposes an architecture for supporting localisation of e-learning content and describes a basis for further development of automatic localisation services that will be able to reason on top of such an explicit infrastructure.
