A tool to copy, possibly translate and maintain a website, how does that sound? With the Clonable tool you can, for example, easily clone a Dutch (.nl) website to a Belgian (.be) website. But you can also translate your German webshop for example into Danish and place it on a .dk domain. The website remains completely identical, without being plagiarized by search engines. Not even if you do not add a translation in our system. You choose which elements to adapt for the cloned website. For example, you can replace the logo and/or Dutch keywords with Flemish keywords. Or change a certain German translation because you prefer to keep a certain jargon on your German website. More benefits of the Clonable tool can be found below.

Cloning a website to another area has 6 major advantages:

1. Cost effective. Normally it costs an enormous amount of money to copy and translate a site or webshop. With Clonable it is only a fraction of that.
2. Time-saving. Normally it takes months to translate a reasonably large website, let alone a very large webshop with tens of thousands of products. With Clonable you can go live in 1 week.
3. As good as maintenance free. There is no hassle keeping track of foreign content, new content is automatically cloned and translated. There is no extra hosting and you only need to maintain one dashboard/ backend for 2 or more sites (useful for e.g. stock management).

In addition, there are a few other advantages....

1. SEO optimization. Through Clonable you are simply findable with your product or service in more countries or among non-native speakers in your own country. Moreover, due to the time and cost savings, you have more time and money left to work on this.
2. Conversion optimization | Your foreign customer feels more at home in his own personalized environment.
3. Adwords savings | You can advertise with a unique site in its own language, which will improve the quality score and therefore can bring cost savings.
4. Quality. Although human translators obviously provide even better translations in many cases, Clonable is much better than Google Translate in terms of quality. The cost and time savings also mean that a translator can quickly bring the site up to a near-perfect level for visitors by reviewing the most important pages, menus, etc. and adapting them where necessary.

The localization possibilities with Clonable are great. You can clone virtually any domain.

No, this is not the same thing! Cloning a website does not automatically mean translating it. However, most customers want this and choose a clone with translation. A cloned website without translation is also possible and offers many advantages. It serves a specific area with the same language and makes sure that your website is placed higher in the search results of that area. However, it is possible to adapt certain keywords to fit the target audience (localization).

Clonable has more advantages than simply translating a website with Google Translate.

1. A big advantage is that you get an extra domain through Clonable, which search engines index. For example, with a .de domain, you can be found in Germany. Google Translate is not indexed by Google, which means that you will not gain any additional customers.
2. Google Translate translates the entire page, but changes are not possible. With Clonable it is possible to make adjustments after the translations, both in terms of text and, for example, changing images, logos or preference settings. See ourKnowledgebasefor more information about all the possibilities.
3. Google Translate's translations really aren't always that good. Ours are many times better. Especially since they can also be checked and improved by a proofreader. You can hire one through us or you can find someone yourself.
4. A Google Translate button on your website looks pretty unprofessional.
5. With a cloned website via Clonable you can advertise with this website (and thus this foreign domain) or apply marketing strategies, this is not possible with Google Translate.

Yes you can! There are already several customers who have used the Clonable tool to clone their webshop. This works the same and just as well as for a blog or information page. There are even specific replacements for web shops that help increase conversion. Feel free to ask for it.

No, you do not need any specific knowledge to work with Clonable. The back-end system is simply designed and easy to use. If you don't know how to use it, you can always contact us for questions. If you wish, you can also choose to have the tool configured by Clonable.

Yes, in principle every website can be cloned! For a clone with translation there are only a few exceptions when it is not possible to translate everything properly. Loading dynamic content is not always possible yet. This happens more often with the webshop system Shopify.

Configuring the Clonable clone yourself is very easy. However, if you wish to configure it yourself, this is also possible. We can quickly and efficiently optimize your clone site for the country to be reached. Please contact us for more information about the costs.

Yes, you can easily set this up. With webshops, this is not always advisable because the transactions take place on the original account.

No, linking a page is not the same as cloning with Clonable. When you clone a page you have the advantage that you can customize this page to the look and feel and keywords of the country or region. This ensures that your website is better found by search engines and that the customer feels more at home in your website environment.

Within 10 minutes the clone is already created (translated) and ready for use. Often, however, it takes longer for the site to be available around the world due to DNS changes. Unfortunately, we at Clonable have no influence on the time your IT company needs to set up the language tags correctly. You can already start implementing the first changes. We take a week's lead time into account.

The cost of a Clonable site depends on the translations your site needs. If your site does not require translations then the price is €50,- per month per site. For sites with translations but not many pages the price is € 75,- per month per site / per language. And for sites with more pages the price is € 200 or € 300 per site per language. Of course we can always agree on an appropriate customization when multiple clones are purchased at the same time. Sometimes you will have to take into account an extra start-up fee because a lot of translations have to be done in one month and the monthly number of characters is not sufficient for that. For more information, please visit our pricing page.

First of all, we need to know what the domain name of the cloned site will be, what CMS system your site runs on and what language you want to clone your site to. In principle, we can get started almost immediately after that.

The cloned website does not have its own back-end, as it is a live copy of just the front-end. Any changes to the back-end of the original site will automatically be shown on the translated clone. If you want to makechanges in the cloned siteonly, such as adding keywords or changing logos, you can adjust this in the menu of Clonable.

With Clonable almost everything on your site can be easily adjusted. To localize your site you can easily adjust the following things:

• (Search) words
• Images
• To show or not to show texts
• Logos
• USPs
• Preference settings:
  • Payment methods
  • Country of dispatch
• URLs
• XML feeds
• etc.

Instructions for linking your Google analytics account will follow. For online shops, it is good to know that because of the measurement of conversions, we prefer to do the measurements in the same analytics account as the original webshop.

You can add a cloned site to your Google Search Console in the same way as you would your normal site.
