01 · Context
L.A. Weekly reached over 4 million monthly visitors before expanding to Asia. We built laweekly.asia as a cultural bridge—mirroring the U.S. site while syncing and translating all articles automatically, maintaining content consistency across regions.
02 · System
Auto-syncing between laweekly.com and laweekly.asia required custom crawling that preserved text, images, links, and media. We built a flexible pattern that permits easy component editing when translations needed refinement, reducing manual overhead.
03 · Experience
Asia expansion site with automated content syncing and custom Traditional Chinese translation integrated into WordPress CMS.
04 · Outcome
WordPress integration with smart translation
L.A. Weekly's WordPress CMS posed a translation challenge—most third-party solutions don't support Traditional Chinese. Our custom translation layer integrated seamlessly with WordPress, enabling automated article delivery to Asian readers without losing nuance or quality.
