Localization of Your Website Leads to Greater Market Share

Localization of your website should be among the first projects you undertake as you start to expand your brand globally. Why? Because your localized website is often the first contact your global customers have with your company, it is critical that you are able to engage with them effectively on both a literal and contextual level in their own language via correctly localized website.

One important aspect of competing in today’s global economy is the ability to reach customers that speak different languages in different countries. Communication across languages can be rife with challenges—misunderstandings and even unintentional insults can cause confusion and alienate you from your customers. When selling your products in foreign countries you want to put your best face forward because it will have the greatest effect on your brand image and product sales.

When promoting your company’s products and services in global markets; it becomes a basic requirement being able to engage with your audience in their target language, and more than that, with cultural sensitivity and context. Your localized website is often the first contact your global customers have with your company, so it is critical that you are able to engage with them effectively on both a literal and contextual level in their own language. For example, RotoMetrics wanted to engage their clients directly via undergoing website localization projects into multiple languages. This not only enhanced their brand visibility, it also improved their standing among their competitors.

Localization makes this possible. It ensures that your website doesn’t just transmit necessary information to your audience, but does so in a way that sounds natural to your potential customers—and it will put you leaps and bounds ahead of competitors that don’t take the time to do so. Expert localization can take into account not only linguistic differences, but differences in customs and cultural norms when translating English to French content.

Localizing a website requires more than technical linguistic understanding. It requires an expert look into how the language is used every day in a region, and how subtle linguistic choices can influence purchasing decisions specifically within your industry. Classroom knowledge is not enough; most advanced localization services require the input of those who have lived experience in a certain region or culture. Understanding the subtle distinctions of context when you translate English to German requires an expertise that many do not possess.

Because of this, it’s critical to partner with a experienced document translation company that has this expertise—the skill required to expand your existing market and to open new ones for your company.
