The document discusses three options for web site localization: traditional, connector, and proxy server. The traditional option involves extracting text from the site and sending it to translators, who return translated files to be integrated back into the site. The connector option automates the process by connecting a content management system to a translation management system. The proxy server option serves localized pages on demand through a cloud server without requiring updates from the client. Each option has pros and cons involving costs, technical requirements, and translation workflows.
