Polish
Inflection, politeness forms, company registration details and the local shape of GDPR notices.
I run multilingual projects on the technical and the linguistic side at once. No translations ordered blind, no language switcher glued on at the end — the structure of language versions is decided at the start, because changing it later is expensive.
Poland, Czechia, Slovakia and the English-speaking market are four different sets of expectations: different data formats, different buying habits, different mandatory details in the footer. I handle them without intermediaries.
Inflection, politeness forms, company registration details and the local shape of GDPR notices.
Diacritics, IČO/DIČ, address and price formats matching local practice.
Close to Czech but not the same — a separate version instead of an automatic substitution.
The international version for partners and clients outside the region.
Architecture is what separates a genuinely multilingual site from a page with a translation plugin.
A stable, distinct URL per language version, correct hreflang and canonical tags, no duplicates competing in search.
A default derived from browser preferences, remembered across visits and always overridable by the visitor.
Copy lives in dictionaries, not inside component code — adding another language does not mean rewriting the interface.
Phone numbers, addresses, currencies and date formats are a separate dataset per market, not just another translation string.
Layouts that survive a Polish or German heading being a third longer than the English one.
Only the needed language version is loaded, instead of shipping four dictionaries to the browser.
Translating a sentence is the easy part. The hard part is what the original never said.
Directness that works in English can read as pushy in Czech. Tone follows the market, not the source text.
A consistent glossary maintained across the project, so one service does not end up with three names.
Registration details, policies and contact information in the form visitors in that country expect.
A dedicated phone number and contact path per market — real availability, not a claim.
Examples of the work cross-border businesses most often come with.
An existing site needs Czech and Slovak versions without rebuilding everything from scratch.
The site already has several versions, but they have drifted apart, are partly machine-translated and compete in search.
A panel or tool where interface language, content language and system messages must be separated and kept under control.
Adding content in four languages over time without the versions drifting apart.
Write a short note about the markets you are entering and what you already have. I reply personally and say plainly what makes sense.
