The Importance of an Effective Localization Strategy

Have you ever been on a website and not been able to understand or relate to the content?

It might look right on the surface, but the text might not make sense for several reasons, including pop culture references, strange turns of phrases, or the incorrect use of currency. You may have experienced the same on certain marketing campaigns or certain emails you’ve seen. This is due to poor localisation.

The impact of businesses implementing an ineffective localisation strategy creates an untrustworthy image, and low impact content. If your platform isn’t clear, then there is a potential that your clients won’t have confidence in the product or service they are being offered.

To avoid this, you should consider tailored localization that considers nuances such as idioms, metaphors, and figures of speech, as well as regional currencies and dialects. A successful strategy also involves adapting graphs, units of measurement, and images to match your desired region.

Here at Wolfestone, we can ensure that your content is clear and suitable for your target audience. Through our tailored solutions, we can establish your brand’s authority in multiple global regions, increasing credibility, reach, and revenue.

The Benefits of Localisation

Localisation can provide several benefits, including:

Improved user experience: By adapting content and design to fit the culture, language, and customs of the target audience, customised content can provide a more comfortable and engaging experience for customers, partners, and suppliers.

Increased market reach: Localisation can help businesses expand into new markets and reach new customers who may not have engaged with the brand due to language or cultural barriers.

Better brand perception: Regionalised content demonstrates a commitment to serving the needs of local customers, which can improve brand perception and loyalty.

Enhanced customer engagement: Localization can improve customer engagement by providing more relevant and personalized content, which leads to increased conversions and customer satisfaction.

Competitive advantage: Investing in an effective strategy can give businesses a competitive edge by making it easier for them to enter new markets, reach new customers, and differentiate themselves from competitors.

Cost savings: Businesses can avoid costly mistakes and reduce the need for additional resources to adapt to different markets.

Overall, businesses will improve their global presence, increase their revenue, and build stronger relationships with customers by adapting to their unique needs and preferences.

The Process of Regionalising Your Content

1. Since 2006, Wolfestone has continually developed a database of qualified, experienced, and professional linguists. These native speakers will help your business in achieving your goals and objectives.

2. As part of the localisation process, we will edit your content, replace images, and convert currencies that are more suited to your new target market.

3. Quality control is everything! Once the first draft is ready, another linguist will review your project. This will make sure your intended message comes across in your project.

Multilingual SEO

In a Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) strategy, you’ll want to optimise your content for the language you speak. Most often, that’s also the language your business operates in. If you’re wanting to target audiences in different regions and countries, you will need to optimise how your website is found in other languages. This will have multiple benefits for your company's image as you will not only be able to speak to customers in their language, but also witness an increase in revenue and conversions.

Our multilingual and localised SEO services can optimise your websites and build domain authority across language barriers. We cover everything from keyword research to cultural differences, you can give your content the best chance to rank in other languages.
