As a legendary motorsports venue, Suzuka Circuit attracts motorsports fans from across Japan and around the world. Its global reputation is well established, and as international visitors have returned following the pandemic, providing information in multiple languages has become increasingly important. Previously, our English and Traditional Chinese websites were managed manually. Now, they are powered by Cistate Translation Proxy, our automated website multilingual solution. In this article, we interview the website manager at Honda Mobilityland Co., Ltd. Suzuka Circuit about the challenges they faced in managing a multilingual website, the process that led them to adopt an automation solution, and their experience after implementation.

Managing websites in multiple languages, such as English and Chinese, is now quite common. However, directly translating the Japanese website can sometimes cause issues on the foreign language pages. In this article, we highlight common issues that can occur on multilingual websites. Whether your company already supports multiple languages or is planning to launch a multilingual site, please use this checklist as a helpful reference for your multilingual website.
