Post title: Translating websites
I usually ask clients to provide me with the text to be translated and have their webmaster upload the translation. Websites are complex creatures, some of the text to be translated can be obscured in javascripts, alt texts, etc., while other text such as function calls must not be translated, and it may not be at all obvious to a CAT tool what to translate and what to leave alone. Besides if the site is run by a content management system such as Wordpress, the HTML you see in the source code has very little similarity with the site as it is on the server.
