http://www.taxi-coop.com is a web site for Taxi Co-op, an association of more than 285 owners, who are the true heart of the taxi-industry. The business itself is located in Montreal, where French is the official language, with over 70% of households speaking it at home. But for those 30% who were initially left in the basket, the site was localized into English. And not just for them. One should take into consideration the growing amount of tourists and immigrants, who come to this largest French-speaking city in North America.
Now with all its contact information and services described in detail online, Taxi Co-op Montreal can raise its business on a completely new level – from online fill-out contact forms to online reservations, comments, not to mention a new feature – your private account, plus the possibility to get credit coupons online. And what many will find the most useful is the list of their taxi stand locations, which is the place where you can hail a taxi without reservation. And don’t forget about their lost and found service, which has also profited from going online – now when you think you’ve left something on the taxi, you go on www.taxi-coop.com, fill out the special lost and found form and get notified when your belongings are found.
The project took only one day to complete, including both the translation of the content itself and HTML editing. In the end the customer got a complete copy of his French web site translated into English. The localization was performed by means of the Dreamweaver web editor. The highlight of the project according to the customer is the fact that both the translation of the content and its HTML editing was done by one person, so it was more then convenient in terms of modifications and changes to the site. A short message via email or chat - and the necessary amendments are introduced to the project. No misunderstandings, no third party negotiators, no unreasonable deadlines. The customer submitted his project, discussed it directly with the person in charge, and the next day the result was online. Easy, quick, reliable.
