Think about the technical decisions:

7. Selecting the format of the working files and how to exchange content with the translation agency.
8. How will you supply the material to be translated: MS Word, html, xml, php, or others
9. Which of the above formats will be more convenient for your IT staff to receive the translated files
10. Revise your existing Content Management System (CMS). Look for answers to the question of structure and best practices to incorporate the translated content.
11. Website localization assurance is perhaps the most important step, as it is vital to proofread and test your website before it is open to the public. Always double-check connections, navigation and correct sequence within each language. By carefully reviewing the new site, you avoid the embarrassment of faulty navigation within your site that can render all of your efforts towards a multilingual page useless.
