Challenges Faced
As Ratatype expanded its reach globally, the need to localize its content became increasingly crucial. The challenge was to manage frequent updates across multiple language versions of the site, including translating user interface strings, welcome emails, and educational articles about touch-typing courses. It required a solution that was not only efficient but also quick to adapt to the platform's constant changes.
