Fetching content
One of the goals we had was to enable auto-syncing between laweeky.com and laweekly.asia. We needed one crawler site to fetch the articles and sync them to the actual laweekly.asia site. This involves not only to fetch text data but also accurately show images, links, and other media from the original article.
We built a custom crawler pattern that shows all content and permits easy component editing in the case of inaccurate translations.

Bridging cultures
Since LA Weekly uses the WordPress CMS, we integrated laweekly.asia onto WordPress with a custom-built translation solution that automatically translates each article into Traditional Chinese, which not many third-party translation solutions support.
