A client has asked me to translate his web page. No file available. Just the web page. Which programs would you recommend me to use? I feel pretty lost right now not knowing how to get started.....

Thank you so very much in advance.

Your customer should provide you with the files, after which you can get started.

That is my take ... just bounce the ball back in a friendly manner
