Frequently Asked Questions

Service Overview

> What is the difference between dakwak and Google Translate?

There are quite some differences between the two services, here is what usually matters to most users:


Content Indexing: with Google Translate your translated content will not be visible to search engines which means it will not be indexed by said engines, with dakwak all your translated content will be indexed and visitors will be able to find this content using their preferred search engine.


Translation Management: with Google Translate you are bound with whatever translation they give you, with dakwak you can change any translation to whatever suits your needs best.


Meta Keywords Translation: add some content here.

> Do you provide another solution besides dakwak's "Translation Delivery Network"?

We do provide a locally installed and maintained version of our technology, you get to install our software on your web server and it will serve your translated pages instead of going through our TDN, if you are interested in this approach then write to us and we'll be happy to provide you with the setup instructions and details.

Translation & Localization

> What about images and static content on my site?

We support changing the URL of images and static content automatically to the correct language, for example; if have you have an image with the name logo.png we can change that to logo_ar.png if we are serving the Arabic version or logo_es.png if we are serving Spanish, all you have to do is add the HTML class "dakimg" to the img HTML tag that you want changed.

> What about videos and other static content?

We provide a URL rewriting tool, this tool is also language aware so you can change almost any URL to any other URL depending on the language of choice.

> What about Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)?

We provide a URL rewriting tool, this tool is also language aware so you can change almost any URL to any other URL depending on the language of choice.

Analytics & Statistics

> How can I measure effectiveness using Google Analytics?

First make sure you have subdomain tracking configured properly (use _setDomainName as '.yoursite.com' within the GA tracking code on your main site).

Now create a custom "Advance Segment" on your GA profile:


- View your GA profile and choose "Settings"

- Click on "Advanced Segments" then "New Segment"

- Put "Spanish Subdomain" for example in the name of the new segment

- Include "Hostname" containing es.yoursite.com

- Save the new segment


Now you can use the new segment to filter visits and page views to show only your translated subdomain.
