How to make a website for a translator

People look for a translator when they have a specific job: a birth certificate in Tamil for a visa file, a product manual into Hindi, an interpreter for a factory visit. They check your languages, the kind of documents you handle, your rate and how quickly you return work. A short website answers those and brings the job to your WhatsApp or email.

Sample words for your home page

Tamil, English and Hindi translation from Chennai

Certificates, business documents, manuals and subtitles. Send the file on WhatsApp for a quote and turnaround.

Meenakshi Raghavan has translated between Tamil, English and Hindi since 2012, after a master's in linguistics. She works on certificates for visa and university files, product manuals, contracts sent for understanding, and subtitles. Every file stays private and is deleted after delivery if you ask.

Use these as a starting point and write them in your own words: AppCub can rewrite them for you in the chat.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide the pages. Most translator websites need these pages: Home, Services, Rates and turnaround, About, Contact.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, with your own name, address, prices and timings.
Check the plan. AppCub lists the pages and what goes on each. Ask for changes until it is right; seeing the plan is free.
Add your details and photos. Replace every sample with your real details, attach your own photos, and check each page on the phone and computer preview.
Publish and share. Choose your address (your-name.sites.appcub.ai), put the website live and share the link on WhatsApp.

Copy this request, change the details to match your translator, and paste it into AppCub:

Make a website for my translation work, Raghavan Translations, Mylapore, Chennai. Pages: home, services, rates and turnaround, about and contact. I am Meenakshi Raghavan; languages: Tamil to English, English to Tamil, Hindi to English. Work: certificates and official documents from ₹400 a page, business and technical documents from ₹1.50 a word, subtitles, and interpreting from ₹2,000 for half a day. Usual turnaround: certificates in one working day. Files kept private. WhatsApp 98XXXXXXXX and email. Indigo and white colours.

Tips for a translator website

List each language pair with its direction; many translators only translate into their first language.
Give starting rates and say what changes them: handwriting, tables, technical subjects or urgent delivery.
If an office asks for a certified or attested translation, say only what you actually provide, and suggest the customer check what the office needs.
Show short sample passages you translated yourself, never a client's real document.
Say how you keep files confidential and how long you keep them.
Put your email on the contact page too; companies often send files by email rather than WhatsApp.

Good to know

Clients can't upload files, get an instant quote or pay on the website; they send files on WhatsApp or by email. To track jobs, deadlines and payments, a translator's app is the better fit.
The pages are written in English. You can talk to AppCub in English, Hindi or Hinglish.
A website has no forms, bookings, payments or logins: visitors reach you on WhatsApp, by phone or on Google Maps.
Every page carries a small “Made with AppCub” badge and a “Report this site” link.

Questions

Should a translator show rates per word or per page?

Use what your clients understand: per page for certificates, per word for longer documents, and per hour or half day for interpreting.

Can clients upload documents on my website?

No, there is no upload form. Clients send files on WhatsApp or by email from the contact page.

Can my translation website be in Tamil or Hindi?

The website pages are in English. You can show sample passages in your languages, and talk to clients in any language on WhatsApp.

Can I say my translations are certified?

Only if you really provide that. Describe what you give, such as a signed translator's statement, and let clients check what their office needs.

Can I show translation samples on the website?

Yes, short passages you translated yourself or with permission. Don't use a client's real document.

Will companies find me when they search for a translator?

The pages are made so Google can read them, with your languages and city in the page text. Where they appear is Google's decision.
