WEBSITE TRANSLATION AND LOCALIZATION SERVICES

Did you know that only 25% of internet users use English for navigating the web? Speaking your audience’s language has never been more important. Read on to learn more about how ITC Translations can help you localize your website.

Why You Should Localize Your Website

With the growth of mobile devices, tablets and websites, the amount of content that needs to be translated and localized is growing exponentially. It’s estimated that in 2022, internet traffic will be three times higher than it was in 2017. Just another data point that shows why companies need to work with a translation agency specialized in website localization services:

  • 59% of the world’s population (4.54 billion people) is connected to the internet.
  • The number of connected devices will be double the world’s population in 2022, which is an average of 3.6 devices per person in comparison with 2.4 devices in 2017.
  • Video content is also going to explode: in 2022, it will represent 82 percent of global traffic, a 75 percent increase over 2017.
  • Around the world, mobile data use will increase seven-fold between now and 2022.
  • 57% of online buyers have purchased from a foreign seller.
  • 75% of internet users want to purchase products in their native language and 92.2% prefer buying from sites that show prices in their local currency.

Using website localization services to localize your website is an essential step in your international development. It will help boost your company’s visibility internationally by incorporating SEO optimization and improving your site’s conversion rate. If the content is adapted to the user’s language AND the culture, they will be more inclined to buy your products or contact you.

Too often, people confuse multilingual website translation and website localization. Translating your website is useful if you want to provide several languages without targeting a particular audience. However, if you want to expand your business in a specific local market, you’ll need to localize your site. While localization includes translation, it goes well beyond it. It also includes a cultural dimension and adapting numerous elements such as measurements, currencies, screen captures, date formats, URLs and many others.
