No, SYSTRANLinks is outsourced to SYSTRAN servers. SYSTRAN translates your Web pages and hosts the translated Web pages at no extra cost.

Having your website multilingual will certainly increase your overall traffic as you will be able to address an international audience.

SYSTRANLinks updates the translations automatically, in real time. As the translations are processed on-the-fly, SYSTRAN will update the translations whenever you update your existing Web pages or add new Web pages to your website.

When your Web visitors go to your homepage, they will have the ability to click on a flag or select a language in a drop-down menu. Then, SYSTRANLinks receives a translation request, connects to your website, gets the Web content of your home page, translates it on-the-fly, and displays the translated Web page. Then, when the visitor clicks on a link, the corresponding Web page gets automatically translated thanks to SYSTRANLinks's fluid navigation. SYSTRANLinks maintains the exact same layout as the original page.

A translation request corresponds to one HTTP or HTTPS query. Basically, when a Web visitor goes to your homepage and clicks a translation link, it counts as a first translation request. Once on the translated page, if the visitor clicks on a link, this counts as another request, and so on. In other words, every single viewed translated page counts as a translation request.

Statistics for translated Web pages are kept on SYSTRAN's servers and may be accessed by authorized users. To obtain traffic figures, please contact your SYSTRAN Sales Representative.
