Airbnb is basically a home site when making sites in various countriesAirbnb.comI will translate it. However, since Airbnb's website · mobile application contains about 400,000 words of English words, it takes time to translate it. Therefore, Airbnb greatly shortens the time required for this translation by preparing various "gimmicks", realizing the local site release in a short period of time.
◆ t () method
Airbnb collects staff to translate to build a local site. However, it is difficult to translate all 400,000 words of English words at a stretch, so we prioritize the parts to translate immediately and those to be specified later.
The tag for translation called "t () method" is adopted as the server data of Airbnb so that the person in charge can grasp the priority of translation.
With the t () method, it is possible to detect and recall the phrases called in the last 4 days of the service of the Airbnb site, and this data makes it possible for the translator in the world to actually read it It is possible to grasp which sentences are, and it is a mechanism that can translate preferentially.
◆ Translation tool

◆ Timestamp
Airbnb has adopted a timestamp so that information on local sites around the world can be shared on all sites. Thanks to the timestamp, if a new phrase is added in the database, a new phrase hierarchy will be created automatically and this information will be communicated to local sites around the world. Also, if requested by a translator or site staff, a check is made as to whether the local translation is up-to-date, and if there is update information, it will be updated automatically.
◆ Analog method
Of course, even if you use the t () method or translation tool, it is inevitable that there are places where it is hard to understand when the client uses the content. As a result, as soon as it finds a mistake in translation of the site or mobile application, the translator is continuing to correct it manually.
When launching Airbnb.jp, Airbnb management first asked cooperation with a host resident in Tokyo. The request for assistance soon spread to the Airbnb community and succeeded in getting support from enthusiastic members welcoming the construction of the Japanese site, and the quick launch was realized. The biggest factor that Airbnb can quickly build and publish the site is said to be an enthusiastic supporter than know-how.
