It then shows how to identify the text to be translated in HTML files. The paper goes on to describe other types of files that a translator may receive, the tools and techniques that facilitate translation of these files, and special issues that may arise. In a final instance, this paper suggests some points to keep in mind when translators accept a Web site project, including how to determine price and timeframe and the information they should have before they begin.
