Website Translation &
Localisation

Website localisation and translation are crucial for reaching a global audience in
an ever-connected world and economy. Let’s show you how we can help your
business achieve this.

What Is Website Translation and
Localisation?

If you’ve ever travelled for work or leisure to a place with different languages and cultures to your own, you’ll have experienced firsthand that staying updated or connected is difficult. We aren’t all multilinguists.

But with the latest technology, data access, and the internet, we don’t need to be. As helpful as Google Translate can be, it’s not perfect. And when connecting to your clients, your grammar, word choice, and language localisation must be spot-on.

A website translation company can translate your website into another language to broaden your reach and access to new audiences. The agency will take your content and create perfectly translated sentences that capture your audience’s attention. Your visitors will likely enjoy your content, turning them into repeat visitors or potential customers.

However, in a competitive marketplace, translation isn’t always enough. Your content needs to be properly and culturally localised. A website localisation company will adjust elements of your website to connect and resonate with your new audience.

Why Localise Your Website?

Consider this: People only understand 7% of verbal communication from words. A whopping 38% is communicated in tone, and 55% comes from body language alone.

You can think of localisation as your website’s body language and tone. And since it accounts for almost 93% of what you communicate, it’s safe to say localisation is essential.

Hiring a website localisation company has
the following key benefits:

Extensive-SEO

It expands your audience by promoting your products and services to a more extensive customer base. Since it’s culturally sensitive and considers your audience’s way of speaking and local context, it’ll also ensure a positive return on investment (RoI).

People are more likely to buy products or services with information in their language. Research shows that 76% of consumers are more likely to be swayed by websites that really speak to them.

A successfully localised website can increase sales and build long-term relationships by fostering real connections with your clients.

Appeals to Your Audience

An audience is more likely to see a brand’s value when content has been designed for their native language and culture. For instance, a blog may reference an industry problem unique to a certain area. In this way, transcreation services emphasise to consumers that a business values them just as much as their domestic customers.

Emphasises Your Conviction

Using linguistic skills, transcreation writers can produce highly emotive content. Translation may not always reflect the gravity of the message a business is trying to convey. Transcreation identifies the right words and phrases to do this. Showing conviction can be a powerful way to persuade readers.

Connects with Your Audiences

For international business models, accessing new audiences can be difficult if they compete with local brands. Transcreation services, however, aim to strengthen the level of connection between the business and its new audience. Adopting a culturally appropriate voice makes a brand more relatable for those consumers.

Our Website Localisation Process

At Goodman Lantern, our website localisation process is thoroughly planned-
out and follows a clear strategy. From the ground up, we’ll analyse every
aspect of a website if necessary. Then, we’ll convert website content for a
specific language and culture.

Translation vs Localisation:
Which Should I Choose?

integration

Translation and localisation services are inseparable. If you’ve already translated your website, you must also have it localised. Otherwise, your business risks sounding unprofessional and disconnected from your readers. A website localisation company considers your audience’s unique perspective and how they understand your brand message, text, and tone.

This doesn’t make your website text unnecessary; it showcases how important it is to include other emotive elements on your site. Features that create a warm feeling will foster customer-client connections.

Website localisation services can help you do just that.

Legal & Certified Translation

A multinational business must be legally secure from vulnerabilities. Not only does the language change in different places but so does the law.

Website Localisation Services FAQs

bottom-blob How much does a website translation cost?

Website translation costs depend on the project's scope. However, we’ll adapt our services to your time frame and budget. Simply ask us for a quote and we’ll get in touch. We’re happy to put together a plan that suits your business needs.

bottom-blob Can Google translate web pages?

Yes, it can, but it’s often literal and isn’t localised. Translation and localisation services take it a step further by considering cultural nuances while ensuring nothing gets lost in translation.

bottom-blob Can I translate a website for free?

You can, but it’ll still cost you. Even a free website translation plug-in has its faults. At the very least, it’s best to have a website proofread, edited and localised by a professional translation service provider to ensure your site stays crisp and that the translation copy makes sense.

bottom-blob What do localisation services entail?

Localisation services take a product – content, a website, or even software – and modify its language, tone and design style to resonate with an audience in a new location.

bottom-blob I already had my text translated. Is localisation necessary?

Localisation is crucial if you want your expanding business to succeed in a global market. You'll need a solid online presence to maintain your brand reputation and credibility.

Not only do the language, market trends, and cultural nuances change with each location, but so do the keywords and the back end of your website too. These changes can be difficult to stay on top of, so it’s best to hire a website translation company to do it for you.
